Title: Elizabeth Frew (m.n. Graham) d. May 1930
Post by: Doddie on Tuesday 10 June 25 07:53 BST (UK)

Hi, I am after some information of a somewhat sensitive nature. I am carrying out some family research for my girlfriend. I have discovered her great aunt Elizabeth Graham married William McLuckie Frew in 1907. Elizabeth died in 1930. At the time she was a patient in Stirling District Asylum (also referred to as Larbert Asylum, as it is on the death certificate). I am just trying to find out when Elizabeth was admitted to the asylum and perhaps a little background information. I fully appreciate that this is very delicate territory. As I understand it, Stirling University holds all the records for Stirling District Asylum and I have also reached out to them to see if they can assist me. I would like to apologise in advance for any upset caused by my post.

Regards

Doddie

You will probably find that there is a 100-year closure rule, which means that you won't be able to see her hospital records until 2031.
