Death in Woodilee Asylum - ?Buried
« on: Thursday 28 May 09 00:05 UTC (UK) »
I wonder if someone can help me.  One of my relations died in 1934 in Woodilee Asylum, Lenzie, Kirkintilloch.

Can anyone help me with where would he have been buried?

His name was Andrew Mercer, born 1877 and died 1934 aged 57.

Thank you
Janice

Hello Janice,

I would think it depended on where he or his family lived.

My g gran died there and was buried at Glasgow as that's where she lived before being admitted to Woodilee.

You could send for his records from http://www.archives.gla.ac.uk/gghb/collects/hb30.html but I don't know if that would give you the burial place. Closure is 75 years so hopefully you'll just make it

Regards,
Nel

Hi Nel

Thank you very much for your reply.  I wil definitely get in touch with the archivist.

In the meantime, do you think that being buried in the area that you come from would have applied to him.  He had been in the Asylum since 1908, - a total of 26 years.

Thanks

HI there

Can anyone tell me what the letters mean at each person's entry.  Two have B and one has L.

I am guessing that B is burial, but what could L mean?

Thanks
Janice
