Hello Cooperman

You don't mention when your gt grandfather died. Hospital records usually have a 100 years confidentiality protection in the same way as census and you may need to show evidence of your relationship to the ex-patient when you collect records.

I don't know about Hull but I obtained Huddersfield's asylum records from Wakefield Archives, there may be some similar authority in the East Riding.

From the Internet I learned that it was known as the Hull Borough Asylum from 1849-1882, then Hull City Mental Asylum and finally closed in 1997 as De La Pole Hospital Willerby Hull HU10 6ED.

Try Hull's library, local archives or even NHS; they may be able to help. Could Hull University local history dept know anything? The records and archives must be somewhere!!!!

Let me know if you have any success as I am searching for staff records of St Luke's Mental Hospital in Middlesbrough.

Best wishes

The records of the de la Pole Hospital and its predecessors are at Hull City Archives,
79 Lowgate, Kingston Upon Hull HU1 1HN

www.hullcc.gov.uk/portal/page?_pageid=221,52893&_dad=portal&_schema=PORTAL

The Hospital Records Database (HOSPREC) is the place to look to find the locations of hospital archives
