Hi,

Theophilus was my 3 x great grand uncle, not grandfather.

The record for theophilus I am sad to say bears the same status as all the others  which is the awful 'Lunatic'.
I believe that because he was home with his parents until his mother died he may have been 'Downs syndrome' and was unable to care for himself.
Many Downs children were placed in these institutions, i worked in one in the 80s and many had been there for  30 years.

Hatton is now a housing estate.

That seems strange if he was the posters 3x great grandfather, I see nothing wrong with a person with downs syndrome having a family - but it'd have been usnusal wouldn't it?

Hi,

I contacted someone at rcag and they provided info I needed.

The local council may also be able to offer this

Thanks for these links Shaun. I did come across these but unfortunately, they cannot be viewed online.

Hi all,

Does anyone know where I can find any patient records for a Mr Theophilus Wood who was admitted to Hatton County Lunatic Asylum on 15 January 1870 and died whilst there on almost a decade later on 21 March 1879.

Theophilus was my 3 x great grand-uncle and I'd like to learn more about him.

He died at just 43 years of age.

Thanks for any help with this.
Antony

Thank you so much for these and apologies for the delay. I thought I’d already sent my thanks. I do really appreciate you taking the time to get these to me!

Thanks Hillhurst.

This is the link I saw that said they were available from Durham museum.

I was hoping for an online version.

The Common Room / Mines Inspectors Report for 1903 (Cd 2119)

Does anyone know where I may access the following report online?

Mines Inspectors Report for 1903 (Cd 2119)

I’ve discovered that my 2x grand uncle John William Orme died in an accident at the West Cannock Colliery in 1904. He was a jigger and apparently died in a fall, breaking his back.

There is said to be a report in the above, but I’m struggling to locate it - other than that it may be available in Durham but in person only.

Thanks
Antony

Hi Forfarian.

Thank you for this link.

I’m not sure this is the correct place though as the birth certificate shows “38 Bridgeton” rather than “Bridgetown”.

I think as Istrice has said, I think it’s most likely to be what is now Kinghorn Road.
