asylum records

[tiawooster]

my grand uncle Thomas George Schofield died at Knowle asylum, but his occupation address was 1, james street, Fleet. He was a Journalist, so was james street a newspaper office, I am unable to find out. Does any one know if this place was the local hospital as well as an asylum. He died of fatty degeneration on 7 April 1914. Up to 1911 he lived in London.

According to the Wiki article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knowle_Hospital

All documents and records of the asylum that still exist are held by the Hampshire Records Office in Winchester. The accession number for the collection is 48M94/ and many records relating to former patients are held, including admissions information, case notes, discharge and death registers, postmortem reports and a burial register. A number of these records are contained in volumes that are still subject to a 100-year closure rule; any work on those volumes, for records outside the closure period, must be undertaken by an archivist at the records office on behalf of the public.
