Sara,
Could the name of the asylum be Croydon?
Regards,
Josephine

Hi Sara,
It's certainly not easy to decipher - might be an abbreviation, or just bad spelling!
The following link might help - it's a list of asylums:
www.mdx.ac.uk/www/study/4_13_ta.htm#5
You might find it interesting anyway, Sara.
I'll look through the list, too, but I thought two pairs of eyes (or more) might be better than one.
Might be S something 
Good luck.
Kind regards,
Paulene

Sarah,
Can you tell me if the link is coming up, please - we've just got a new internet server today and it won't come up on mine. I don't know if it's my server, or I've got the link wrong.
Thanks,
Paulene

Hi Paulene
It's coming up for me now but the page wouldn't load the other day when I looked so perhaps it's their end

Hi everyone,
Thanks for letting me know Casalguidi - it's loading on mine now, so I think you're probably right in that it was just being temperamental.
Now wondering if it is an 'S' - sure the one above is Knowle (which fits with the list). Does this also begin with a 'K'? Still trying to determine which it is. Not at all easy!

Sarah,
Could you give us an idea of which area (not place) your ancestor came from, please?
That might help, though I know that someone might not necessarily be in an asylum near their home. Poor John Clare went to various places!

Yes, that's much clearer and I agree with the other Rootschatters - Herts.
