Hi all,

I have just recieved a death certificate for a family member who died at County Asylum Newminister Morpeth 1914.

 The cause of death was General Paralysis would he have been placed in this hospital beacuse he had had a stroke or would he have had mental problems.

Many thanks

General paralysis is usually a syphilitic infection of the brain causing a range of psychiatric problems.
