My ancestor's sister in 1901 was enumerated as an imbecile in the Cheshire Co Lunatic asylum, I believe in Macclesfield. Someone posted here in 2010 that they would do a look up in the records to see when someone was admitted, who signed the papers, etc. I would love to have that information if possible. Her name was Julia Hosking, born 1846 in Redruth, Cornwall, dau of Elizabeth Betsy Withiel Phillips and William Hosking. Julia didn't marry and I have located her in the England 1851, 61, 71, 81 and 1891 censuses. In 1891, she was a lodger in the Thomas H. Shade dwelling in Butley, [3 1/2 miles n of Macclesfield], Cheshire. I don't find that family related to Julia. If someone has or can find more info about my Julia, it would be fabulous. She apparently died in the 3rd quarter of 1908 in Macclesfield, which leads me to assume she was still a patient in the asylum. I can be emailed at melibob4 at texasbb dot com Any info will be a help. Thanks!

Hello, Gortonboy and thank you sooo much for your information! Wonderful! I had no idea where Julia's mother was buried, nor when she died. She is my direct ancestor. Is her date of death or burial on the stone or in what ever records you have? And can you tell me the source you have for the info on Julia and her mom...so that I may document my research.
Elizabeth's husband, William Hosking is a great mystery.... I haven't been able to find him in any of the census records with Elizabeth and their children. I think he might have been in prison after 1852. He died in Redruth in the first qtr. of 1880 according to the England and Wales Free BMD on Ancestry.com.
And I am wondering if anyone out there takes pictures of grave markers? It would be lovely to have a pic of their stone. And again, Mr. Gortonboy, you are a genie treasure. Thanks again.

Oh my goodness, another one in that grave! Yikes. But I am thrilled to have the info.
Turns out that the A W hosking that owned the grave property after his mom died, was not my William Hosking, but their son, Albert Whitford Hosking. He was born in Redruth in 1839 and died in London in 1900.
My William, who I think was a criminal, was also an iron founder, b. 1808 in St. Uny, Redruth and died in 1880, Redruth. I have him in the 1841 and 1851 censuses with wife Eliz Betsy and she has babies with him through Nov 1852. But by 1861 Betsy and surviving kids are in Camborne with dau Priscilla Harris and husband Abraham; 1871 in Cheetham, Lancashire as well as 1881, when she is enumerated finally as widow. But under every creative spelling I can think of, I cannot locate William in 1861 or 1871,then he dies in 1880. He was an iron founder in the 1841 and 1851 censuses and had the Hammer Mill foundry in Redruth in 1855 according to the West Britton and Cornwall Advertiser. Also, he pops up in that newspaper from time to time in trouble with the police...
Thanks for the info on Rosina...man, Betsy lost a lot of kids....Meli
