Hello again,
A story of my other half's great grandmother is that she was admitted to an asylum sometime between 1891 and 1891 because she allegedley went "doolally".
Her last known place of residence was Bilston, Staffs on the 1891 census. There was possibly a daughter Dorothy born around 1892 in Wolverhampton.
My query is, if she was indeed admitted to an asylum would it have been where the family lived at the time?
Would admissions registers be available for public viewing, if so where are they likely to be held? I suppose it'd be better to start with Staffordshire asylums.
TIA
Beth
