Census Lookup and Resource Requests / **Look-up request please** - GEORGE GILLESPIE PATTERSON
« on: Tuesday 30 January 18 14:16 GMT (UK) »
Please could someone help me out?
GEORGE GILLESPIE PATTERSON was born in Italy 1845
Married Margaret Mary Jane McCambridge and was involved in the Music Halls (It looked a very interesting life and he travelled around Europe)
I can trace him up until 1881 - when he is a patient in Norwood Lunatic Asylum London and then transferred to St Thomas Asylum Devon in 1883 - where he died.
Are there any records available for his stay at either of these places? I'm so curious how a hard-working man - who was very successful in this industry suddenly ended up in an asylum.
