Hi Christine, I had an ancestor that was admitted to the Parkside Lunatic Asylum in 1911. An Adelaide-based genealogist was able, after a longish process, to track down his detailed medical records. If you wish, I can send the contact for the researcher. Regards Doug Brisbane. -----Original Message----- From: aus-sagen-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:aus-sagen-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Christine Cook Sent: Wednesday, 22 September 2010 11:08 AM To: AUS-SAGEN Subject: [AUS-SAGEN] Adelaide Asylum Hi! I'm wondering if one of my ancestors was a resident in the Adelaide Asylum. Mrs. Jane Bound, as she was known, arrived in South Australia in September 1878 from Plymouth on SS "Oaklands" with her 9 children. She was a widow, the eldest of her children 19 and her youngest would have been about 10 months old. She and her children travelled out to where they had relatives near Riverton, Sth Aust. Sometime after 1883 she moved to Victoria where her eldest son had leased property. >From 1890's 3 of her sons, William, Edwin (Ned) and Abel had "bouts of insanity" and were committed to institutions in Victoria. In correspondence obtained from their files, it mentions that their mother had been admitted to the Adelaide Asylum and/or had been under restraint in England. I was wondering if it would be possible to access admissions between Sept. 1878 and about 1890 to ascertain if she, or any of her children, were admitted. Her full name was Amelia Jane Bound (nee Congdon) and she died of typoid fever in Nhill, Vic in 1893. I understand that some records are available for look-ups but I can not easily access them from country Victoria. Any help or advice would be appreciated. Cheers Chris C.

Hi Chris, A few years ago I successfully contacted the Society below to obtain the case notes of my ancestor who died in the Adelaide Lunatic Asylum in 1888: Glenside Hospital Historical Society 820 Marion Road, Marion, SA 5043 South Adelaide p: (08) 8375 6003 f: (08) 8375 6001 I'm also pretty sure that the South Australian Genealogy and Heraldry Society have an index of patients on their library computers, and for a fee can do searches for you. Check their website for contact details.

Hi Glenn & Listers My database "South Australian Police 1838-1920" http://www.ach.familyhistorysa.info/police.html has biographical info extracted from police files at State Records of SA. The originals are held by the SA Police Historical Society. These files may give the previous occupation and age on enlistment, thus year of birth is recorded. Only one-third of the records have place of birth and many of these only have the country, say England or Ireland. I don't know if they even asked for more personal details when a man enlisted!
