Cinderella Bedlam

[serra]

I am having a hard time pinpointing the death and location for Cinderella bedlam born approx 1839,

she lived in and around Bedforshire and had children Lavinia, William, Kisby and Amadine.

I have found a Cinderella smith that died in a Lunacy institution on the 30th Dec 1914, but I'm not convinced its the one I'm looking for.

All help appreciated

Go on, I'll fall for it.  Did she have two unattractive siblings, and was her occupation listed as housemaid?

Seriously, I do know of someone with the surname Bedlam, but I think he is outside the scope of your research.  I have also encountered the child of a lunatic being described as a 'son of a bedlam'.

That was a good find Stan.

This is the other great Cinderella, alias Jo Stafford, Cinderella G Stump, one of my great heroines.

Seem to be all over the place with names

In the 1881 census Cinderella is down as Baldwin with two of her children, her father and a nephew
