Hull East Riding Asylum

[holl83]

Hi all,
Does anyone know any information about the Hull asylum, East Riding. My ancestor was there in 1911 and died there I wondered where they might be buried and if there would be a record of this.

Do you mean the one at Walkington?

Burials might be on FindMyPast.

I believe the Hull Asylum was De La Pole at Willerby, not sure what records exist.  Yje Hull History Centre may be worth a try.

Asylums had their own cemeteries so he could be buried there if his family didn't claim his body.

I think it may be that hospital. I know they changed names alot of the time .
Unfortunately hull history centre is closed due to covid.

That's great thank you
I wonder if the grave is still there

Hopefully it is!
Sadly there are no graves registers on FamilySearch for that cemetery, or anything else useful.
