Is anyone going to the LMA? - still looking
« on: Wednesday 14 March 07 12:57 GMT (UK) »
I have just found out that my 3xg.grandfather died in the Banstead Lunatic Asylum in December 1885.

A kind Rootschatter has found the record types, some of which are below and I wondered if anything could be found in them of William Henry Leech.

Another kind Rootschatter has told me that if you visit the LMA, you hand in a slip and they give you the record books.

I wondered if anyone is going up whether they would have time to have a quick look for me please?  Having never been I have no idea what it's like up there, but I imagine it's busy!

All I know of his time there is that he died on the 4th December 1885 age 47. 
It doesn't say how long he was in for but he was living in Hackney in the 1881 census, so I guess he could have gone in in 1881 or maybe a few days before he died in 1885!

I'd like to know what they said about him when he entered (and when he died if anything)
Maybe what he looked it, if Pictorial records  are  pictures of patients?
And if he is buried in their graveyard.


Record type Date range
 
Administrative  1871 - 1990
General  1871 - 1970
Admission & Discharge 1877 - 1977
Pictorial 1877 - 1890
Clinical & Patients  1877 - 1972

If someone has the time it would be great to learn something else about him.

Many thanks
