Joseph Mardell

[Hoppity]

Has anyone got access to the Bedford Ayslum records?

There is a Joseph Mardell who was buried 4 Jun 1856 age 28 at Bedford Ayslum, and I am trying to eliminate him from my family.

There is also another Joseph Mardell who worked in Bennington near Stevenage but died in a lunatic ayslum in Stotfold (looks like Three Counties on the certificate) in 1880 age 54 years. 

I thought perhaps there might be something in the actual records to say where they was born, or some family detail that would help me.

Any help would be appreciated.

Kind regards.
