Garlands Lookup Please

[allans]

The admission register on Ancestry has Hannah Bousfield, (born 1840), admitted 18 Dec 1872 and Rel'd 10 May 1893. On the 1901 and 1911 census she is in the Lunatic asylum at Kirkby Stephen,
The 1911 census images has the word 'deserted' hand written alongside 'married'.
Hannah (Nee GILMORE) married William Bousfield in Stockton on Tees 6/11/1858 and I have them on census up to 1871.
After 1871 I have William and his family with his 'wife' Hannah - but DOB and Place don't match.
There is a child baptised 12/7/1872 in Kirby Stephen parents William & Hannah and then no children for 7 years. William then pops up in Sussex, Kent and Surrey with the correct children but this 'different' Hannah.
I am trying to find out

Is the Hannah in the asylum his wife? -
Where is she on the 81 & 91 census - I haven't found her yet and would happily browse the images if I could locate which parish Garlands was returned in.

Any details anyone can look up at Carlisle would be appreciated.

It seems to me William got himself another, younger Hannah, who appears to come from Shildon co Durham

Thanks - nothing out of the expected there - hopefully something in the Garlands records will add to the profile.

As for the younger Hannah - depends which census you look at, one has her from Middlesbrough, and the DOB changes every census - but interestingly the 1911 has 'married 40 years' well not married, at least as far as I can find - there is a William Bousfield marries in 1873 Darlington but not to a girl called Hannah or anything similar.
I cant find baptisms for her children on Ancestry/Family Search to check MMN, and as I said I cant find her last 3 children with surname 'Bousefield' perhaps they are registered with her maiden name - but I haven't managed to identify one.
All my research is on Ancestry as a public tree SMITH/WATERHOUSE

= Is there information on each individual indicating who their parents were, dob, etc.
= Is there information re: where they are buried?

Thanks for your reply - I had almost give up on this.
I am interested in Hannah Bousfield nee Gilmore (if I have the correct person)
The Garlands admission register on Ancestry has Hannah Bousfield, (born 1840), admitted 18 Dec 1872 and Rel'd 10 May 1893. On the 1901 and 1911 census she is in the Lunatic asylum at Kirkby Stephen.
She was born Hannah Gilmore abt 1840 in Harrington, Co. Durham parents Thomas Gilmore & his wife Ann. Baptised 13 Sep 1840 Houghton-le Spring, COunty Durham.
She married William Bousfield on 6 Nov 1858 in Stockton on Tees. WIlliam & Hannah are on the 1871 census living in Kirkby Stephen, 30 Main Street. (RG10/5271 Kirkby Stephen page 7.) with their children John,12; Harry, 9; Margaret,5; Marry, 4 and Hannah 1.
I am hoping the Garlands register tells who admitted her and why and perhaps names her husband or other family member.

Hi allans

Have you thought about getting intouch with the owner of this site. She does welcome people's stories of ancestors in Garlands and from what I've read is willing to help others with their research
