Elizabeth Frew (m.n. Graham) d. May 1930
« on: Tuesday 10 June 25 07:53 BST (UK) »
Hi, I am after some information of a somewhat sensitive nature. I am carrying out some family research for my girlfriend. I have discovered her great aunt Elizabeth Graham married William McLuckie Frew in 1907. Elizabeth died in 1930. At the time she was a patient in Stirling District Asylum (also referred to as Larbert Asylum, as it is on the death certificate). I am just trying to find out when Elizabeth was admitted to the asylum and perhaps a little background information. I fully appreciate that this is very delicate territory. As I understand it, Stirling University holds all the records for Stirling District Asylum and I have also reached out to them to see if they can assist me. I would like to apologise in advance for any upset caused by my post.

Regards

Doddie

You will probably find that there is a 100-year closure rule, which means that you won't be able to see her hospital records until 2031.
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.
