When I started this post it was for my great grandfather who had allegedly spent time in some sort of 'mental home' or worked in one, although that is dubious.  Recently found out that his grandmother died in Bridgend asylum in 1911. So I wonder if something was running in the family.  Does anyone know if the Bridgend asylum records are easily acccessible?

Thank you Rebekah
I am aware that Find my past has the 1911 Census but having spent more than two hours trying to find the Glamorgan County Asylum on the site I gave up, Tried again later and each search came back with no results  until I went back to the 1901 census  selected the name of a worker then did the same name search for 1911 when lo and behold it appeared, confusingly with the same details I had initially entered but then I discovered that all the inmates were listed by initials only so it appears that the only way to confirm the actual inmate is to get the original medical documents.
Regards
