OUR LADY'S HOSPITAL CORK (LUNATIC ASYULM)

[Jaynie P]

Hello,
I'm trying to trace my Great Grandfather Albert Peterson who was, I believe in this asylum in 1905 and I know he was still alive in 1911.
Were the records for the asylum kept anywhere?  I'd really like to try and trace Albert - at least see if he was there.  My Grandfather ended up in the Greenmount Industrial School and it was his admission form that said his father was in the lunatic asylum.  Such a shame!
If anyone has any ideas of where the records may be, that would be wonderful
Thank you so much
Jayne

Thank you both for pointing me in the right direction.  It looks like the Albert in the records is my Great Grandfather - the dates fit in with what I already know and his age is spot on.  He'd been in the Asylum since at lease 1905 - on the 1911 census my Great Grandmother was listed as Married so I knew he was still alive then.  My Great Grandmother died in 1924 and by that time was the widow of Albert.  It's very sad to see he suffered with TB for 8 months before he died at only 41.
I couldn't understand why he was missing from the family records, but now I understand why.
Thanks again for your help with my search.  Very much appreciated.

Hi, I too am trying to find details of a relative who I believe was admitted to the asylum in 1914/1915. Her name was Abina Murray she would have been early 30's, she always lied about her age and we can't find a birth record, we believe she died there in the mid 1940's, but we need proof that she was actually admitted as nobody in the family seems to be able or willing to confirm it.
