Have you tried to find him/her on the 1911 census? My g.grandfather lived in Deptford (Greenwich), also south of the Thames, and was admitted to Horton Asylum nr. Epsom Surrey about 1910. Cane Hill, also in Surrey was woefully overcrowded and the estate at Horton was bought and very quickly used for patients in temporary accomodation while more was built. It opened in 1902. have a look at http://www.countyasylums.com/mentalasylums/london.htm good hunting, Kam ________________________________ From: london-bounces@rootsweb.com on behalf of Phyllis Bartlett Sent: Sun 30/10/2011 12:15 To: London List Subject: [LON] Asylums If someone was living in Vauxhall London in the 1910s and was admitted to an Asylum, would any Lister know where he/she would be sent to?'
