Hello Claire,

I too have a death in the "County Lunatic Asylum, Bodmin"; my gg grandfather
died there on 5 March 1902. He was admitted, if that is the right term,
sometime between the Censuses of 1881 and 1901.

I would be interested to learn where/how you obtained the details regarding
your relative's admission.

Regards

Andy Claxton

Hello Jane , If your relatives body wasn't claimed by his family . the
Asylum would have buried him .

Do you know there is a book written about the History of the Asylum , if
you are interested, very few patients names in it though , but an
interesting read .

called , The Dark Awaking

The Cornwall Record Office wasn't able to come up with my relatives
records(1852-1868) but I did get
the Order For The Reception of a Pauper Patient Into The Asylum & The
Medical Certificate , which told me enough to understand why she was there
.

Hope this helps a little .

Cheers CLAIRE
