I have just found a family member in the 1901 census in London County Asylum, The Heath, Dartford Kent. Does anyone know the intake area for this asylum? Could she have been sent there from Acton in London?

This lady, (Kate) Emma Eatwell, I was told had epilepsy would this be a reason to lock her up in this asylum and are the records for this place held anywhere??

Thank you

Jacky
