hi
my Jane heggie was born in 1872 in kingston surrey. on the 1911 census she is in the kingston union workhouse after that i don't know what happened to her. i been looking through the bmd indexes and came across this entry in devizes. Jane heggie age 75 Oct quarter 1950 7c 416. on the 1911 census they have her age 33 about 5yrs out so this one is 3 yrs out. how can i tell if this is the right one I'm looking for? she could have been transfered from kingston asylum institution to devizes

hi
she was in the workhouse in 1891 when she had her son. couple years later her son was put in a children's home. she try to get him out but after many years of trying she took a turn for the worst (mental state ) and they had her remitted. this is on the letter from the children's home in kingston

hi
i bought credits and looked at the institution transcipt. yes i notice there is no birth year and place, but if she was in a mental state perhaps she didn't know herself where and when she was born. if she was put there in 1902 its a good bet thats her.

As she was only in her early 30's in 1911 - she may have died after the period covered by the freebmd transcriptions
There are no probably marriages on freebmd/Ancestry for her
If you are unable to find a death on freebmd - you will need to search the full GRO index which is available at your nearest main library. It can also be searched online if you have an Ancestry or FMP subscription
It involves downloading the images for every quarter of every year from 1911 onwards and checking for an entry - very time consuming without more info
The address where she was a patient is on the 1911 transcript - why not contact Surrey Records Office and ask where the records are for that hospital and whether you would be able to have access

hi carole
i found a death record for Jane heggie in devizes 1950 age 75 Oct quarter 7c 416. there is a roundway county lunatic asylum which she could have been transfered from kingston. we have contacted surrey records office and they have a record for register of inmates 1906-1927. but Jane went in before 1906 will she still be registered

So she was not in an institution in 1901 which means she could have been hospitalized anytime between 1901-1911
RG13 Piece 664 Folio 81 Page 35
Was it normal practice to transfer patients from Surrey to Wiltshire? It's approximately 90miles between the 2 places
You will just have to take a chance and buy the death cert

They might have moved her during the war. if i send away for her death certificate they don't do references checks do they.

Unfortunately - anybody could report a death so if it is the right Jane Heggie and she died in the mental hosp - the death may have been reported by a staff member and you will be none the wiser but £7 poorer!!
However - that's the chance we all take with a death cert - although sometimes you do get info you don't expect
