1939 Register COMPLETED
« on: Wednesday 25 March 20 15:49 GMT (UK) »
Help needed please, I am not asking for an entry in the 1939 register, only to find the County, Borough/District or Urban, and Enumeration code, for the Devon County Mental Hospital, Starcross near Exeter.I have searched for my ancestor who was there until 1966, but without any success, her name was Mary Elizabeth Furneaux nee Skinner, born 13 April 1884, Devon. If I know where to look on Ancestry, I may find her. Thank you, Brian

This definitely sounds like it's her - year of birth is often wrong I've found, plus 13th could have misheard as 30th.

Address given as Western Lodge Mental Deficiency Institution, Crediton.

Hello Annette7, MaryinMyTree, Dundee and rosie99
I do think you have found my great grandmother, If you look, it is Furneaux, and even a close look at the year could be 1884, there is something wrong about the 6. It has her recorded as marrried, but she was a widow after her husband died in 1918 (the reason she ended up in a mental hospital).
Thank you all for sorting this little mystery out for me. much appreciated.
Mary Elizabeth died at the Royal Western Hospital, Starcross, Devon, 17 July 1966.
