Powick Asylum, Was She Abandoned?

Hi,

You may have found these two links already, but just in case

Ada isn't there because it only goes up to 1916 but there are other PHILLIPS entries.

This could be the record you need but it is closed until 2021 due to the hundred year rule. I don't know if they can look up and release a document if you can provide proof of death of the person you are asking about. I think it would be worth a phone call to find out, I often find that is more helpful than sending an email.

Regards,
Daisy

Daisy,
Thank you for the information.  I think a phone call might be the best option at this time. I do have Ada's record of death as well as my Grandfather's, and my Mother's(half sister of Ada's daughter). Maybe that would help my cause.

With a 6 hr. time difference between our locations, I better get up really early and have a huge pot of coffee ready!!

My Grandfather was married to a lady who was a patient at Powick Lunatic Asylum.  She died there in December of 1920.  Her cause of death is given as "Fatty degeneration of the heart, duration unknown". She was only 48.

She was on the 1911 census living at home with her husband and child. Haven't found any information on her for the years after 1911.

Hi Ladyhawk,

I do have a copy of the parish death record but I appreciate your taking the time to look for it.
