Hello Gill, The Borthwick Institute hold the records for the Clifton Hospital, you can download forms from their website but you have to apply by snail mail. If the record is there you can get copies and possibly a photo if there is one. I have quite an informative copy from there about one of my MEGGISON relatives and they supplied a photo plus a description of him and why and when he was admitted. Good luck.

I believe one of my missing ancestors may be there in the 1861 census and I'm wondering if there's any records that survive for it? > Any suggestions most appreciated! > Best wishes, > Gill > > ______________________________
