Hi Pam,

The UK Lunacy Patients Admission Registers 1846-1921 are incredibly basic. I don't think RootsChatters are supposed to do specific look-ups on subscription sites, but I hope that it is okay for me to share the few pieces of information on there.

She was admitted on 5th January 1882 to Chartham Asylum. Her death date is also provided (it is the same as the date you gave).

Chartham Asylum must be this one, I assume:

You could contact the Kent History and Library Centre for a copy of her patient record, although this would obviously incur a fee.

Wonder why she was admitted to Chartham when Oakwood ,and West Malling Mental asylums were nearer to Biddenden.

I haven't the slightest idea however if I could find the information of her entrance to that facility it may show some light on the problem. Thanks grandarog..Pam...Sydney.
