I couldn't find where to put this and would love to share this topic which I wonder how many people have come across.  I have a relative who was transferred around 1908 to Bexley Heath Dartford Asylum.  She died there in 1912 and in the burial column it said medical.  I have her records from the Asylum and could find no burial (so far)  I decided to google to see what books were available on the subject and came across Dr Elizabeth Hurrans "Dying for Victorian Medicine"  What a find this was it is a very informative and well balanced book a must read to get your head around what happened in well into the last century if no one claimed a body after they died in the Workhouse or Asylum.  Shocking comes to mind but also tempered with a bit of understanding.  Where my relative  ended up is anyone's guess but this is where more research is needed the search goes on.  I was told to leave this alone  by another forum why should I!
