I know this is an old thread but Harriet Wilson was my 2xGreat Grandmother and George Thomas Riley was her first husband, he was an attendent at the aslyum. He died in Wadsley and is buried at Wadsley churchyard in Feb 1885 along with their baby, Harriet 4 days after . I visited the grave  a few years ago.
  Harriet went on to marry John Rose a widowed spring knife cutler from Wadsley. Now Harriet and John's daughter, Beatrice Rose born 1890 had been been facially disfigured with severe bombs I believed because she worked in an ammunition factory but you mentioned a bombing raid was there one in the Wadsley/Sheffield area in World war one?

Yes that's right only Florence and Stephen were my Great Grandmother's siblings. I know a half sibling went to Canada. Beatrice lost her nose due to an explosion I assumed she was a canary girl but further up the thread you mentioned Clara going into the asylum following bombing raids? Harriet is fascinating have since found out she was actually born Harriet Ensor and her Father was a convict transported to Australia long story that I am still trying to get to the bottom of.
