Cranage asylum
« on: Wednesday 15 May 13 16:35 BST (UK) »
Hi all, was just wondering if it was possible to find out how long and even why my great great uncle was put in here? My family don't have answers and I'm trying to see if he was possibly autistic?
Many thanks

Hi and welcome to Rootschat

Can you give some more info about him please.

Name and birthyear
Birthplace
Parents names
Year of his death

If he was born before 1911 - have you checked the 1911 entry to see if there is any annotation about his mental/physical state in the last column of the entry
