  • Severalls Asylum

    I have asked this question before but as usual I forgot to make a note of what was suggested

    anyway, my GG Grandfather died at Severalls Asylum in Essex in 1917, I have just had a reply from the Essex Records Office, only to be told that they have "no records from Severalls Asylum deposited" there

    Can anyone point me in the direction of where else I caould try

    Thanks

    I remember this from before....Severalls is not listed (or I should say, I can't find it listed!) on TNA Hospital Records Database. Maybe the records have been destroyed? You could perhaps ask the local health authority? (Local NHS Trust)

        It's not the same place as the Eastern Counties Asylum is it?

          Did it have an address in 1917?

            No completely separate

            The Eastern opened in 1859 and Severalls in 1913

              You know, I don't know - Tom's death cert just lists it as Severalls Asylum, Colchester

                  Abandoned Past | Severalls Asylum

                  doesn't give info about patient records, but it does say its been disused since 1990s and there was a fire there.

                    Thanks Nell, but that link doesn't appear to be working.

                    I googled it and found it so thanks
