Hi LizzieW, I was sad to read your g uncle had been in an asylum for so long, had he been born later things might have been very different for him.

If iīm only allowed a copy of the entry page and the first few entries that would be alright to begin with. As he was in the asylum for about a year before his death there may not be very much.

I hope you will be allowed more info now that time has passed.

Thanks very much for the information Janan, much appreciated. Itīs easier than I first thought so I feel more optimistic.  I have his death certificate so I know the causes of death and they are sad reading, however, we would like to know more.

The Common Room / Access to medical record

I would like to see the medical record for my great grandfather who died at The London County Asylum, Banstead, in 1915. Would I be able to see the record under The Freedom of Information Act and how would I go about it? I live abroad and am not planning to go to London again until after the summer so all contact would have to be either on the net or post.

I think this question as been posted on the forum before but I canīt find it. Grateful for any help, ideas etc.

Thanks for your help, iīll check this. Have also found him as Stimpson and Stimson and a family tree. Confusing!

Hello eglus, thank you for your reply. I am researching my auntieīs (my  fatherīs sister in law) family tree. Her grandfather was Robert John Steinson born 1840 or 1841 in Croydon but I can find no record of his birth. He changed his surname to Steinson Castle then just Castle. He died in 1871. His grandson, my auntieīs father, wasnīt keen on being told he looked Jewish, I donīt know how much he knew about his grandfather as his mother died while he was still young. Thatīs all I have to go on really. However interesting family research is it does cause a lot of speculation and head scratching!

If a Jewish boy was born in 1840-1841 would it have been possible to register his birth using only his Hebrew name? Iīm afraid I donīt have any idea what that Hebrew name could have been.
