Cheshire Lunatic Asylum patient - help

[melibob]

My ancestor's sister in 1901  was enumerated as an imbecile in the Cheshire Co Lunatic asylum, I believe in Macclesfield.  Someone posted here in 2010 that they would do a look up in the records to see when someone was admitted, who signed the papers, etc.  I would love to have that information if possible.  Her name was Julia Hosking, born 1846 in Redruth, Cornwall, dau of Elizabeth Betsy Withiel Phillips and William Hosking.  Julia didn't marry and I have located her in the England 1851, 61, 71, 81 and 1891 censuses.  In 1891, she was a lodger in the Thomas H. Shade dwelling in Butley, [3  1/2 miles n of Macclesfield], Cheshire. I don't find that family related to Julia.  If someone has or can find more info about my Julia, it would be fabulous.  She apparently died in the 3rd quarter of 1908 in Macclesfield, which leads me to assume she was still a patient in the asylum.  I can be emailed at  melibob4  at  texasbb  dot  com     Any info will be a help.   Thanks!

Hello, Gortonboy and thank you sooo much for your information!  Wonderful!  I had no idea where Julia's mother was buried, nor when she died.  She is my direct ancestor.  Is her date of death or burial on the stone or in what ever records you have?  And can you tell me the source you have for the info on Julia and her mom...so that I may document my  research.

Elizabeth's husband, William Hosking is a great mystery....  I haven't been able to find him in any of the census records with Elizabeth and their children.  I think he might have been in prison after 1852.  He died in Redruth in the first qtr. of 1880 according to the England and Wales Free BMD on Ancestry.com.

And I am wondering if anyone out there takes pictures of grave markers?  It would be lovely to have a pic of their stone.   And again, Mr. Gortonboy, you are a genie treasure.  Thanks again.

Hello, Gortonboy Extraordinaire!   You keep amazing me....and have also given me a clue to the elusive William Hosking who now shows up as A W Hosking....wow.  I wonder if he is in that grave too!  Thank you hardly seems adequate!  Wish I knew how to add that big grinning smiley...

Blessings, your friend in Texas
