Glamorganshire / Re: Cardiff Workhouse
« on: Tuesday 03 February 26 20:31 GMT (UK)  »
A distant relative, Ann Gibbs, was born to Elizabeth Gibbs (Ann's father unknown) on the 22nd July 1881 at the Cardiff workhouse. Could anyone help me find out what happened to her. She did not stay with Elizabeth, who was admitted to Glamorgan asylum in October 1888. Ann does not appear in Elizabeth Gibbs' parents' census of 1891, so I am presuming she remained in the workhouse or got sent to the nearest orphanage.

I take it she was still at Parc Gwytil in 1901. Glamorgan archives are sending me the details. No Connection with Sussex

Dear all. Thank you so much for all your help. Elizabeth's story is now complete. She was transferred from Parc Gwylit to Haywards Heath Asylum in Sussex in March 1904. She sadly died there in December 1904. Death seems to be connected with her epilepsy.

Annoying isn't it? I'm beginning to wonder if once you went into an asylum. Nobody bothered with you again and deaths weren't officially registered.

So at the moment I don't know what happened to my Elizabeth after 1889

The notes that Glamorgan archives sent me that do relate to my Elizabeth states she was moved to Parc Gwylit in 1889.

The Elizabeth Gibbs that died in 1896 was in her 60s when she died. My Elizabeth would have been 29 in 1896

There is a problem with the death as Glamorgan archives have sent some information about two Elizabeth Gibbs. My Elizabeth was sent to Glamorgan Asylum in 1888 suffering from epilepsy. However  the other Elizabeth was sent to Parc Gwyt with dementia where she died in 1896 at the age of 64. So I still have a bit of digging to do

Dear everyone

thank you so much for your help.

I have found her. She was, indeed, sent to the asylum. Glamorgan archives have sent me the information and it makes very sad reading. I am so glad I did this. Nobody deserves to be forgotten.
