A little " eye of newt and toe of frog " works wonders  !

Must dash - off on my broomstick !

How sad .

I was going to post a snapshot of a BNA newspaper, but the attachment feature doesn't work in this thread?

Sad indeed, in 1867 Charles appears to have been voted into the Asylum for life.

Ye shall be thrice punished for your witchery....

Bugbear - no, attachments can't be made to a lookup thread. Not sure if you can anyway from BNA - suspect the images are copyright.

Anyway, I found an advert requesting votes or proxies from
SUBSCRIBERS, so it appears that the people who
paid for the asylum got to choose (by consensus)
who was housed.

My grateful thanks to all who have helped so very much on this tricky family.

The names "John Lines" and "Harriett lines" Appear on the original deeds
of a friend's house, and I now have more than enough information
to tell her a pretty well rounded story of who the Lines were.

That's interesting, Bugbear, thanks; might save me a bit of transcription sometime if I find a morsel for some other post.
