Jan, Do you have census records for her up to 1901? Or is it the patient records from the Asylum that you are searching for?

Hello Anne, Fancy meeting you here. Helpful as always. I have Emily's record for the 1901 although she seemed to be calling herself "Elizabett" then. She was staying in Islington with her Uncle Henry. An old family letter from 1907 tells that Uncle Henry and Emily holidayed at Dover and returned home in better health. I have not found her in the 1891, 1881 or 1871 census records although she is there in the two earlier ones: in Liverpool with her family in 1851 and at Sambourne Girl's Boarding School in Warminster, Wiltshire in 1861. Her Aunts were Headmistress and Housekeeper at the school. There is a chance she went to Chile to be with her widowed Auntie Eleanor Lawrence and children after the death of Eleanor's husband in 1863 but I have nothing to verify this really. I am really seeking the missing census records as well as asylum records if they are available. I can't find White Roothing on my map so also wonder where in Essex it is and if anyone has heard of a place called Ivydene there?
