Hammersmith address

I am researching the story of a patient of the Horton Asylum - all I have is his name (John Clay), age (born 1830) and the snip I shared giving his NOKs address.  I have an Ancestry account but cannot find anything whatsoever. I just wanted confirmation that I had read the details correctly.  I think this patient will be a 'no go' for me a I have nothing else to go on.

Can you post a clip with the person you are interested on? 

Is there no death record for him after 1908

As I understand it, Horton Asylum opened 1902**, Epsom

There's an Epsom death registration, John Clay, Sep Qtr 1908, age 78.
Ticks some boxes.

Added - it was the 2nd opened of the "Epsom cluster".

Thanks again.  The death you found in 1908 is correct but was witnessed by someone at Horton unfortunately.

Thanks for the marriage entry - I initially tried looking for a Clay-O'Donnell marriage but couldn't find it.  I'll take a closer look. 

Thanks everyone for your help.  Merry Christmas

It’s under o’Donnell on free BDM but Clay must have been transcribed wrongly because he is missing.
