Hi, I have just received a copy of a death certificate for a Jane NEATE aged 73 years whose death on the 14/3/1857 took place at the Shoemakers Asylum, Mortlake. Her occupation was listed as a Gentlewoman, and the informant of the death details was a person from the Asylum. As English certificates are scant on imformation, I still don't know if this lady was a relative or not. I had hoped she'd be living with or have had a relative as the informant of her death details, but no such luck. In the 1841C she was living in St.Giles, Cripplegate Parish with relatives, but I can't find her on the 1851C and this was the Certificate that I found which could/may have fitted. Can anyone please give me further information on the Asylum, which when I looked for it on the net, I found it listed as an Alms house type accomodation? Would her husband have had to have been a shoemaker, for her to go into this home? Any help much appreciated. Thank you in advance. Beat wishes.....Robyn Arkinstall. Central Coast, NSW, Australia
