Hi all,
A possible ancestor is recorded in the 1901 census as being a patient in the Buckinghamshire County Asylum, and is classified as a lunatic.
Now, as well as fearing the worst for myself, as I`ve never had the soundest of minds, I was just wondering if anyone could shed any light on possible reasons for this incarceration, and if things pan out in terms of my research (and he is an ancestor), whether any records are available regarding such matters?
Thanks,
Craig
