Hi Everyone A new index of Devon County Lunatic Asylum Admission Registers 1845-1916, compiled by Jeff Ellis, has recently been placed on Genuki. It contains thousands of names and I have found some relatives listed. There is also useful information about accessing the records at the Devon Record Office. http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/DEV/Asylum June Willing Guild of One-Name Studies member no 2117 Willing/Willings One-Name Study http://one-name.org/name_profile/Willing/ Willing/Willings DNA Project https://www.familytreedna.com/groups/willing Dominicus One-Name Study http://one-name.org/name_profile/dominicus/

Knowing my family, a lunatic asylum would probably be the best place for me to look for ancestors!

Paul Carter, the technical lead for the Name and Place Project, is also a Guild member (6064). If Pam or Paul are on the list perhaps they could let us have some further information about the new project.
