« on: Friday 17 November 06 22:47 GMT (UK)  »
all i know is that she was born Ada Roughton in watford in about 1874 and married alfred tompkins in watford in 1894.  they had 3 children and alfred died in 1902.  i know that the children then went into an orphanage as i have the certificates.  i wanted to find out what happened to ada and a great aunt told me she was in a mental institution in london.  i am interested to find out more about this but not really sure where to look

thanks

i am fairly new to this but have found out that my g-grandmother was in a mental institution in the early 1900's, in london.  does anyone have any suggestions as to where i could start to find if this is true, or is the date 'too recent' to access any records?

any help would be appreciated

hi i am quite new to family research but i think that before 1752 the year did not start on jan 1st but on march 25th, so 2nd sept 1703/04  means the year beginning on 25 march 1703 and ending on 24 march 1704 ( by our new dating system).

i would clafify this if i were  you but i am fairly sure it has something to do with this.

good luck
sara
