This website has always supported Alzheimer's Research UK and I feel it would be remiss of me
if I didn't do what I could to raise funds for the Society. So, I am happy to give you whatever information
we hold both from the book and our records in return for you agreeing to make a donation to the Society.
My first email back to you will advise how much info we have on that individual.
If you wish to proceed then please make your donation of £10 to Alzheimer's Research UK and let me
have a screenshot of their "Thank You for your donation" Receipt.
[Please see further down this page for the link to the Charity.]
On receipt of proof of your donation, I will email you all we have on your chosen individual.
An asterisk - "*" - next to their name indicates we also have their photo.

The Researchers at The Alzheimer's Society need our donations to help them continue

Netley Military Hospital Names' Database
Our Database currently holds details of about 12300 individuals plus all the Hospital Censuses
from 1861 to 1921.
What about the 1939 Register, I hear you ask?
Well, we've got the civilian staff, doctors, nurses, family members but no details of the patients who were
at the Hospital when the Register was recorded there on 29 September 1939.
We've been reliably informed by The National Archives and Google that although their details were taken
by the military authorities at the time, they have not yet been released to the general public.
However, allowing that anyone who was a military Patient in the Hospital in 1939 must have been at least
17 years old, it is unlikely they are no longer with us, so we may yet see the details some day soon ...
In the meantime, though, there are other sources, eg newspaper articles, which may have given us
details of folk who were at the Hospital in 1939 and so are already on the database, so please still check
with us.
The full Database is not accessible on this website. If you think your ancestor may have been at Netley War Hospital, please complete the form above and let me know what details you do have.
I will check our files and let you know what we have on file and do some research in the hope of
finding more. My research is free of charge regardless of whether your relative was at
Netley Hospital or not.
Equally if you already know they were at Netley, let me know so I can add their details to the Database.
To maintain the integrity of the Database, however, I will need to see proof that they were.
Did you know ...
within the pages of the History of Netley Military Hospital on this website, the names of
hundreds of Members of Staff, Patients, family members are mentioned?
They are on our database too, often with additional information.
Why not use the Search Box below to see if they are already mentioned on this website?
If not, then complete the form above to enquire further.
