Title: Saxondale asylum-Elizabeth Shaw Spencer.
Post by: stprdi on Sunday 13 November 22 17:12 GMT (UK)
My great grandmother was in the asylum in 1903. I have already received some info from notts archives stating she was admitted for one month then died of melancholy and morbidly depressed. She was 37.  Perhaps someone familiar with the asylum area might be able to comment as to cemetery where she might be buried and also if there is a chance of further medical records being found.  I am waiting for a reply from the archives now but does anyone know if more detailed medical records could be found.

You have also replied on the post above

You have given the wrong surname.   Spencer was her maiden name.   Elizabeth Shaw MARTIN died 1903 aged 37
