I have a feeling that their seems to be some sort of "hereditory" problem which seems to stem from my great grandparents. for example:-
My first cousin (my dads sisters daughter) has a son, born in 1951 who has a very young mental age, about 8-10years
My first cousin (my dads other sisters daughter) was born in 1935 and she only obtained the mental age of about 8
My first cousin (my dads brothers son) has a son, born in 1961,again with a very low mental age.
These are relatives I know, but I have found throughout the various census, that my grandfathers brother, born in 1875, never married and always lived at home.
I think that he suffered from some sort of disability although there is no record of a disablity in each of the 81/91/1901 census.
Would there be any records where he may have been recorded as having some sort of disablity or is this the sort of thing that would have been "kept in the cupboard"???
