	I think the admission records (if they survive) will be at the London Metropolitan Archives (some records from the LMA are on Ancestry). Sorry, I don't have access. According to the Workhouses site these are the records that survive for Fulham:- General records — Guardians' minutes (1845-1930); Committee minutes (1851-1890); Financial records (1845-1930); Staff records (1867-1930). Fulham Palace Road Workhouse — Admissions and discharges (1873-7, 1890-1); Births (1866-1915); Creed registers (1879-1914); etc. Kath. x
