Northumberland Lookup Requests / Re: Is she in Longframlington churchyard?
« on: Monday 12 May 25 21:42 BST (UK)  »
Again thank you!

I have added to her entry on Billion Graves. Her son died in tragic circumstances too - a plane crash at Heathrow in 1965.

The Billion Graves app uses gps to show the exact location of the grave which is in a prominent position just inside the cemetery.

I live over 3 hours away but will visit as soon as possible.

Thank you so much for reviving this thread after 15 years!

Julia was killed on the way to Newcastle for a dancing competition. She owned a dance school in Edinburgh. The car fell on top of her in the crash.

It is definitely her in the cemetery (thank you sooo much). I have access to Billion Graves and can confirm it is her as the headstone also lists her husband and sons. There are errors on the headstone but it appears to have been erected 40 years after her death.

When I am next in Edinburgh I will go and pay my respects to her.

I started this thread when researching for a friend. I haven’t kept anything from that time to be able to help - paper copies and the bed on went to her and I am no longer in touch with her.

Thanks for you help and comments everyone - they have helped me to understand the records I was looking at.

Just found info from the New Lunacy Act 1845 -

Recovered
Relieved = recovered from acute illness and can return home or to another hospital
Not improved - I don't understand this one - why would they be discharged?

The Common Room / Lunacy Patients Admission Registers - Discharge conditions

I'm looking at the Lunacy Patients Admission Registers and am not sure about the categories for discharge from asylum. I am clear with recovered and death but what are the other two? can anyone help?

Many thanks

Just adding another twist to this - I have now found her brother in Calderstones in 1939! He died there in 1942 and is buried in the Hospital Cemetery.

Just to conclude Winfred's story and the thread - her death certificate arrived today and she died at Brockhall rather than Calderstones but a similar institution.

Personally I wouldn't presume anything until you receive the death certificate and can see what information is on it.  It will have place and cause of death plus who the informant of the death was.
Agree I would never presume until the certificate arrives (it's ordered).

I was really asking if anyone knows which district Calderstones deaths were recorded in?
