CHARLES WILLIAM CLARK (1841-1921) -- pics and Parramatta asylum details.

There is also an image of Charles CLARK's death certificate. Definitely the correct man, with parents Charles CLARK (blacksmith) and Elizabeth nee TAYLOR, spouse - Mary DODD. Aged 80, farmer. The place of death is the Parramatta Mental Hopsital. Cause of death - chronic nephritis, myocardial degenration and something else I can't quite read. (58 years in NSW, 10 years in Victoria.)

Possibly chronic colitis.

Maddy may login to give you specific link to the death certificate image, but I just used Ancestry with the name and death date. Exact Australia.

Thanks Sue. I’ll give it a try.

According to Ancestry trees, regarding the death certificate for Charles Clark 1921
"Geoff Turner originally shared this on 12 Sep 2022"

I think you probably have a copy of it.

I must have missed the fine print there

After much searching I found it, thanks Neale. You were right, I did already have it. I think the third cause of death might start "thrombo...".

I meant to add yesterday that admission records for mental health hospitals are usually closed for 110 years. Not too much longer (5 or 6 years?) and you may be able to read them.

Thanks for your help, Maddy.

A fellow researcher has pointed out that none of the official documents give Charles Clark or his father, also Charles Clark, a middle name. I'm not sure where that came from, probably another tree. Since I have been unable to substantiate the middle name, I have dropped that on my tree, but made a note that he may have had the middle name.

I'm still keen to find the source of the four pictures, which seem to have a similar caption style. Is it possible for a moderator to copy this thread into a Scotland section of Rootschat?

Thanks,

Geoff

You can do that yourself.
