Hi Myra, I sent away for information from the LMA on a relative who was in Colney Hatch, and although I only got four photocopies (A4&A5) back they were full of interesting facts I might not have got anywhere else. included were photos (invaluable), the medical notes taken while the person was a patient which gave details of treatment on a daily basis, disposition, conversations, height weight etc, also family details, and the death cert issued by the medical officer. I was told there is often more in each person's file, but the person I enquired about was only there for a short time. look at http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/hospitalrecords/search.asp and make sure that your relative was there during the time period covered, before you order. your query re burial - he was buried in the cemetery associated with the synagogue he belonged to i.e. West Ham (United), not one near Colney Hatch. best wishes Susan 'Is there somewhere online where there might be lists of inmates or of those who died there? asks she hopefully. I was just hoping there might be more information I can get from somewhere'

If he was a member of the Federation, Edmonton cemetery is the closest. Try the on-line databases for this and West Ham. Regards, David liss
