Our monthly meeting in July will be addressed by Dr. Paul Carter from the National Archives at Kew. He will be talking about the records of 19th Century workhouse inmates, particularly from the Wandsworth and Clapham Union which covered Tooting. So what lead to complaints or petitions from Workhouse inmates? How were the complaints investigated by the Poor Law Commissioners?

The talk is on Tuesday 11th July starting at 7.30pm at the United Reformed Church, Rookstone Road, Tooting SW179NQ. (Tooting Broadway tube). Everyone is very welcome.
