Hi, It's just possible I may have found my maternal grandmother on the 1901 census, where she is listed as an inmate of the City Asylum in the All Saints area of Birmingham.. I'd appreciate any suggestions as to sources of information on this institution and the accessibility (if any) of records relating to the patients. Many thanks Charles [email protected]

Hello Charles I believe the All Saints Asylum was at Winson Green. Google will give you lots of leads for further information . Birmingham City Archives hold the records go to http://www.birmingham.gov.uk/cs/Sate...pper%2FWrapper This PDF (link at foot of the page) lists the records available but some are withdrawn for conservation Some records may be closed for 100 years You'll probably need to search the Admission and discharge books to begin with. Hope this helps a little Wendy Boland Hi, It's just possible I may have found my maternal grandmother on the 1901 census, where she is listed as an inmate of the City Asylum in the All Saints area of Birmingham..

Many thanks, Wendy, for your very helpful information. That pdf makes interesting reading and appears to offer lots of data opportunities - as well as being Birmingham City Council Tourism Department's secret weapon. I spent some time as a young child in Birmingham but haven't been there for years. I have a feeling this is going to change!

Forgot to say that 'some' of the patients are only eneterd as their initials, whilst others have their full names. All of the patients have their sex, marital status, age and occupation but not their place of birth. Roger
