Central Midwives Board register of cases kept by N E Hains, 1935-1941, in Gloucester (Feb-Aug 1935), Hereford (Jan-Mar 1936), Farnham Common (Apr 1936-Mar 1938) and Horsham (May 1938-Oct 1941). The register is a standard pre-printed volume produced by the Central Midwives Board showing patients' names and addresses, date of expected confinement, numbers of previous labours and miscarriages, date and hour of birth, and details of doctor assisting, patients' conditions, drugs or other aid given. Under 'date and time of midwives arrival', the information for cases 1-45 is of admittal or transfer to labour ward, but thereafter times and dates are given alone, which may imply that these were home confinements.
