Leicester Mental Hospital (Towers) death

[TonyV]

Thanks for the offer but I don't have a specific interest in the Towers hospital. I got involved in this thread because someone had posted a request to the late and much lamented "Mike in Leicester" who got involved when it first started.

cheers

Hi

Recently found that a member of my family passed away at the Towers. I was looking to see if the Towers had a graveyard but I can't find information to say that they have.

Could someone guide me please on how to find where he is buried?

William Mason
Birth - 1817
Death - 1876

Hello Legacey.

William was buried in Welford Road cemetery; it looks as though it may have been a family grave as all bar one of the people buried there had the Mason surname.
