Hi All, I have just come across a entry for a lady in the Kent County Asylum at Maidstone for 1891 who I believe may be my long lost ancestor. C.N. aged 49 widow born Lambeth, London Now there is a Charlotte Nicholson aged 55 dying in Maidstone Sep 1897 and I am now wondering if the records for the Asylum are accessible for research and can any recommend a researcher that would be able to do this for me. I am trying to confirm if the C.N. in the 1891 is Charlotte Nicholson and secondly if the Charlotte Nicholson who died in 1897 was an impatient of the Asylum. Charlotte disappears in 1876 from Lambeth after placing all her children in the workhouse. Her husband had died in 1874. The oldest 2 girls ended up at the Royal Female Asylum at Beddington and the younger two girls at the Lambeth Work school. Her son George was old enough to go to work. I found a C.N. right age in the Wandsworth Asylum but no death to match and no further entries for later censuses. I am curious with the Maidstone entry because when her daughter died in 1918 her place of residence was Maidstone even though she was buried in Worthing along with her husband who was a Sompting man. Any advice would be appreciated. Regards Liz Dolan Manly Qld Aus

Elizabeth I read your message with interest, I cannot help you unfortunately, but you mau be able to help me. Researching my Mother's lineage, I have a dead end in my Mother's sister Elizabeth O'CONNELL born in Cork City, Cork in 1885, about 1905 she with the family moved over to England, they lived in Vauxhall London.in 1910 Elizabeth was a witness at her sister Kate's marriage {in London}. >From 1910 all knowledge of her whereabouts have been lost, we do know that she ended up in an asylum. Could you give me any leads that I can follow?
