Monmouthshire / Re: Joint Counties Lunatic Asylum, Abergavenny

Hi,

Ellen Powell married a Thomas Woodyatt born 1850.

Charles Phillip Woodyatt born 1876 was the son of Charles Woodyatt born 1846 in
Australia.

Thomas born 1850 and Charles born 1846 were brothers so Ellen is not direct to your family.  If Wyndaham Charles Woodyatt born 1907 is your grandfather then your great great grandparents would be Charles (born 1846) and Ann Woodyatt nee Marchant.  They were brother and sister in law to Ellen Powell.

Hope this makes sense and helps .

Thankyou,  Hope to make the journey to Wales one day and visit the records office.  I would love to confirm if the photo I have is her and why she was put in the lunatic asylum?  However its looking like digitization may happen before I ever get there.

If ever anyone is visiting and wouldn't mind looking for the records of Ellen Woodyatt nee Powell she died 14 September 1914 in Abergavenny Lunatic Asylum, i would be eternally gratefull.

I hadn't thought about getting so much information, that would be really good. 

Do you have the name of the person who looked it up for you?  A few years ago someone gave me a family wedding photograph and they thought she was in it.  As she died that year I had my doubts.  If I could confirm when she was admitted to the asylum then that would good.  It would be great if I lived near and could do it myself but I don't think thats likely. 

Thankyou.

Hi,

What sort of information would they hold at the records office on inmates of Abergavenny Lunatic Asylum.  I already know that my 2x gt granmother died there in Sep 1918 and not really sure of what other information I could get from records there.   I always assumed it was some kind of poor relief place.  Does anyone know if they hold photographs in the records of inmates?  Would value opinions and thoughts from anyone.
