G`day Listers, I recently came across the burial in Mere Knowles Cemetery of a relative who was born in Monkwearmouth. However she died in Fairfield Mental Hospital in Bedfordshire(1966). Apart from the possibility that she may have moved to that area, (I think it unlikely) can anyone shed light on why she was hospitalised so far from Sunderland? i.e:- was there a lack of facilities in the Sunderland area at the time, or maybe Fairfield specialised in certain treatments or patients? Any suggestions gratefully appreciated. cheers from Ruth in Adelaide.
