How to Use RootsChat (Please don't post requests here) / Re: unable to send a PM

It really is worth sticking with it. Short while ago I was in your shoes and wondered if I would ever get the hang of things but the help I received on my general family queries has been quite simply fantastic. Thanks to the help on here I have solved a fifty year mystery and one of the members even went that extra mile in going and taking photographs for me. Where else would you get such wonderful help.

So stay with us and hope that we can help you in the future.
Best wishes

Hi
Thanks for your reply. I tried to get in touch with Derelict Places but they don't seem to want any contact from anyone!
I will try the Glenside Museum as anything that might hold a clue is worth investigating.
I am also goign to try the Co-operative Funeral Society who were around then, just maybe they hold old records even if it is to say that patients from Hortham were buried at X cemetery.
Thanks for the advice.
Muriel

Thank you that is helpful.
Am looking forward to becoming part of the 'Roots' community. Don;t know why I didn't join before!
Just one last query when you reply to a PM do you put your user name on sign off or real name?

I am new to Rootschat having joined today. Reading through everything (a bit min d boggling!) I read this thread. Does it mean that PM can only used once three posts have been done?

Gloucestershire / Hortham Colony
« on: Saturday 09 June 12 13:14 BST (UK)  »
I wonder if anyone can help with information on the Hortham Colony Almondsbury. I am particularly searching for the grave of a half sister who died there age 5 in 1942. Her brother who is now a very elderly man is desperate to know where her grave is.  I am told that Hortham didn't have their own cemetery. This is unusal as institutions like that usually did, does anyone know if that is true? I have tried the local church records in Almondsbury, lovely man looked for me but no luck. Can't find out where the patients records went to when the place closed down either, I've been sent backwards and forwards between Bristol and Gloucester records office. Any points would be so very much appreciated.  :)
