Hello Paul I think I have found your man on the 1891 census still as an inmate at Grove Hall Lunatic Asylum, which is now under Stratford Le Bow St Mary as follows: G.D. age 56, born Warwickshire, Ref: RG12; Piece: 318; Folio 74; Page 15 I found him on ancestry.co.uk using the search criteria London, Bow then chosing INMATE as the relationship to head and I also remembered that sometimes they only listed the inmates of asylums & workhouses by initial. Regards Carole MANIC46@aol.com wrote: Fri, 5 Oct 2007 15:34:21 EDT George Dowse (one of my 2nd great grand uncles on dad's side) was born in Coventry in 1836 to Nathaniel Dowse and Martha Elson (3x great grandparents). Sometime in the late 1850s or early 1860s he must have joined the Army because the next hints I have of him are in the 1871 census in London, St. George Hanover Square, St. John Westminster, Millbank Prison where he's shown as military prisoner/ soldier and in the 1881 census at Grove Hall Lunatic Asylum, Fairfield Rd, Bow, London, Middlesex, England where he's shown as patient/ soldier. I have reason to think he died in 1900 at the age of 63, the death registered in Poplar. I've searched for him in the 1891 census, but no joy. If someone has better access to the 1891 census of Grove Hall than I have, could they find George for me and send me the details?
