Downpatrick asylum
« on: Tuesday 28 March 17 08:24 BST (UK) »
Can someone tell my what records are available for Downpatrick asylum
I have an Esther Blakely who was found dead at Downpatrick asylum 12th April 1891. She was 25 years old, a mill worker, I cannot read the rest of the death on the register.
Are there other records available, like admission form. or any other asylum records.  and what would have happened to her body.   ???
Thank you in advance,
Linda

'Died from Natural Causes Chronic Mania 3 years" and "Information received from Robert _ Coroner for Down Inquest held 13 April 1891"

If you check PRONI's e-catalogue it should list what records have been deposited there.
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!
