LMA visit? - Lookup please? - still looking
« on: Thursday 12 March 09 15:52 GMT (UK) »
Good afternoon
I wonder if anyone will be going to the LMA at any time and if they have the time to look someone up please?
I would like to know what information is held on a
William Henry Leech who died in the Banstead Lunatic Asylum
on 4th December 1885.

I believe it was also called the Middlesex County Lunatic Asylum and
Banstead Hospital.
I have had the following through from the LMA...

"We confirm that London Metropolitan Archives (LMA) holds the surviving records of Banstead Asylum.  For the period around 1885 we hold registers of admissions, discharges, and burials"

I'm afraid I do not know when he went in only that it was after the 1881 census was taken.

I hope he's not too much trouble to find and look forward to anyone being able to help.

Many thanks
