Title: Hull East Riding Asylum
Post by: holl83 on Thursday 11 June 20 17:50 BST (UK)
Hi all,
Does anyone know any information about the Hull asylum, East Riding. My ancestor was there in 1911 and died there I wondered where they might be buried and if there would be a record of this.

Do you mean the one at Walkington?

I believe the Hull Asylum was De La Pole at Willerby, not sure what records exist.  Yje Hull History Centre may be worth a try.

Asylums had their own cemeteries so he could be buried there if his family didn't claim his body.

Hopefully it is!
Sadly there are no graves registers on FamilySearch for that cemetery, or anything else useful.

Hull City Council website doesn't appear to be working at the moment, but somewhere on that site are the contact details for the bereavement services at Chanterlands Avenue, they should be able to provide you with details/map of the location of the grave. That would help anyone willing to look for the grave .

I live in Hull and would be happy to look if you can share the exact location of the plot as it's quite a big cemetery. 

Hull Bereavement Services is still in operation as I have needed to contact them, though the office is closed for people to attend in person I think.  Try them on 01482 614976 or email them on: bereavement.services[AT]hullcc.gov.uk

Just let me know what you find and I'll see what I can do. :)
