Lunatic asylum South Weald
« on: Thursday 10 April 08 04:31 BST (UK) »
Hi Listers,

My gt. grandfather is recorded as an asylum attendant on a marriage certificate of 1915. At that time he and his family were living in Barley Lane, Ilford Essex (also recorded on a naval record as Barley Lane Goodmayes Essex).

Any ideas on which asylum?

I'm not familiar with the area and so much stuff is popping up on the net that I think someone with more local knowledge of the area might be able to point me in the right direction

Hi Keldon,

Thanks again for a super fast reply - I would never have thought of clicking on a link for West Ham.
I will be forwarding the link onto some of my relatives, the more senior members of the family remember visits to Barley Lane - some of us are meeting this weekend so no doubt we'll  have lots of stories about the visits.

Thanks so much again for your help.

Best Wishes Yvonne   Smiley Smiley
