Progress report - or otherwise I wrote to Dr Kathleen Webb, the York NHS archivist at the Borthwick (Thank you to the person who suggested her.) The reply indicates Emily was not a patient in what is now called Clifton Hospital. From time to time I put my names into Google just to see what comes up. I did this this week for William Chatterton, Emily's father, and found a report in the Edinburgh gazette that he had gone bankrupt in 1900. This seems to rule out private care for Emily in the Retreat or Bootham Park. it also makes sense of something else. In His father in law Richard Kay's will, his wife was left the property where they had the butcher's shop and also lived. In the 1901 census they were living in Munich Villa, but a search of the Munich Villa (now called Gallon House) deeds some years ago revealed they did not own this property. I intend to go to Wakefield to see if the date the Cheapside property was sold would coincide with the debts being paid. So back to Emily - I have now written to the West Yorkshire Archives Service to see if Emily was in the West Riding Asylum. And - So much for the family story that William owned "half of Knaresborough". Fortunately I have always been sceptical about this one! Chris
