Belfast Asylum (Falls Rd) -COMPLETED
« on: Tuesday 01 September 09 18:40 UTC (UK) »
Have found possible match for a person I've been searching for in 1911 census and been unable to find (not at any known addresses, not with children or wife) in a Lunatic Asylum on Falls Rd., Belfast (St. Anne's Ward) - wife is living in Belfast (Ormeau Rd.) and all details match except his birthplace. Does anyone know what the name of this Asylum was so that I can start searching for details about it?

Hi Aghadowey,
                        The stamp at the bottom right of the census page on the link
below appears to show that that is the official title.
I put what it said on the stamp into google and it did bring up results.
                                                                         regards.Anne

Many, many thanks for that- I read all the hand-written bits I could see but missed the stamp at the bottom, Have googled as you suggested and discovered that PRONI has admission registers, etc. but not sure yet if they are accessible for the period I need.

I am 99% certain that I've found the missing husband- initials, religion, age, occupation, marital status, illness all match (only details that doesn't is county of birth but he was born just over river from that one so still a possibility). We know that his son purchased a house shortly before 1923 and the father committed suicide there in 1924. Until tonight when I found wife and youngest child living in Belfast I never would have thought to search for him in that area. Thanks again for your help.
