Asylum Reception Order 1882
« on: Thursday 09 May 24 20:45 BST (UK) »
Hi,

Can anyone help me read the description of my ancestor in this reception order for Whittingham Asylum in 1882?

Here's what I have so far:

1. Facts indicating insanity observed by myself:

Has a [? ? ? ?]: thinks the workhouse asylum a friends home where she is staying for the afternoon. All mental faculties much impaired.

2. Other facts (if any) indicating insanity communicated to me by others:
Mary McCurly. Attended at workhouse [ ? ? ? ?] think one of these words may be 'sleep'.


Many thanks for any help  anyone can provide.  :)

Yes, I agree, aimlessly
