English Hospital Records

English law requires that hospital records be sealed from the public for 100 years, so the first available records will be from 2011. These records would indicate if your ancestor was born in a hospital or spent any time in a hospital. These records will also show if your ancestor spent any time in a mental institution. The next of kin will be listed along with the malady. Check carefully because you could learn more about your family history than just names and dates!
