West Riding Pauper and Lunatic Asylum
« on: Thursday 07 November 19 15:07 GMT (UK) »
Hi I'm researching my tree and was given some information about an ancestor, her name was Elizabeth Robinson 1833-1885, I was told that she died in that hospital of TB aged 52, I have been having a look at the site and it says that the first woman was admitted in 1888 which would be after the date that she was supposed to have died, I've tried to find her details in there but I'm not having any luck, could anyone point me in the right direction as to where I could look please, I really feel I want to get to the bottom of this, I do know she had a daughter Elizabeth born 1852 but I don't know if she was illegitimate and this was the reason she may have been incarcerated. Thanks for any help

Thank you I saw that one but I've just checked again and her dad Mark was born in Hensall and her daughter was born there too, unless my dates are wrong.

Welcome to Rootschat.

There is an entry in the South Yorkshire Asylum records for Elizabeth Robinson, born 1833.  Discharged 1879.

I offer this because that is where my great grandmother was a patient - she was from Auphe Hole, near Sowerby Bridge.

EDITED:  I don't think is right - this Elizabeth was a married woman.
Transcriptions and NBI are merely finding aids.  They are NOT a substitute for original record entries.
Remember - "They'll be found when they want to be found" !!!
If you don't ask the question, you won't get an answer.
