Hello CU

Thank you for that piece of information. Yes it will help in my search because my Annie also died at the hospital. I will write to the records office and see what they can give me.

Kindest Regards
Donna

I have just stumbled across this site and am hoping someone will be able to help me with my query. I am trying to find out all I can about my Great Grandmother who lived at Shenley as a patient from about the 1930s to the day she died on 24th December 1963. Her name was Mary Ann Cross (nee Few) but I think she was known as Annie as that is what appears on her death certificate.

I know she was committed to an infirmary around about 1910 (around about the time my Grandmother was born) but was moved to Shenley, probably about the time it first opened. My cousin and I have our own theories as to why she was in there but so far our efforts to find out anything have drawn a blank. I doubt we will ever know why she was first sent away from her family in the first instance as records no longer exist but I would be thrilled to find out anything regarding her.

Thank you in advance for any help anyone can give me.
