At this time when we are all so very conscious of the work of our medical professionals in the face of the pandemic, we have released a set of new records for our medical ancestors who treated others in the course of their occupations in the time before the creation of the National Health Service.
It would have been a very different world from today in which these men and women worked. Before 1948 and the founding of the NHS, medical professionals were in private practice. The poorer members of society depended on charity and being assessed for what financial contribution they could make to their treatment.
TheGenealogist has added to its occupational records with a fascinating release that has a medical theme. From the time before the NHS came into being, these name rich records covering Doctors, Midwives and Opticians can be searched by name and keywords. All of these practitioners would have been working at the time when the wealthy could afford the best treatment, while the poor went to hospital with the added shame that this held as these institutions were where the poor were predominantly treated.
Use these records to:
This latest release expands our extensive Occupational records collection that includes actors, apprentices, clergy, crew lists, directors, flight, freemen, law, railway, sports, teachers and biographies as well as other medical registers.
