Stirlingshire / Death at Stirling District Asylum 1887
« on: Monday 30 April 07 16:06 BST (UK) »
My great grandparents Henry and Margaret Field(Morrow) were married in Dumbarton in 1875 and appear in the 1881 census. Margaret Field's age at her time of marriage is given as 24 which gives her a D.O.B. c.1851. Henry and family moved to Belfast c.1887 where they settled. I have been unable to find any record of Margarets death in N.Ireland and must conclude that the death recorded at Stirling District Asylum 6 May 1887 is that of my g.grandmother. The age is given as 37 years which is about right. Why she would have died at this location is something of a mystery,as it is some distance from Dumbarton and not exactly convient to Belfast. Is it possible that hospital records could be found to help identify this lady and help me put the matter to rest ?. Any help would be much appreciated.
