Hi
I am trying to find any information about my Grandmother Elsie May Constable who died in this Asylum in 1960.
We do not know WHEN she was committed or WHY and I have failed to find any medical records( and believe me I have tried) My Mother was told her mother (Elsie May) had died when she was a young girl. It was only weeks before her death my mother was contacted by Social Services with the terrible news of her confinement in this institute.
I have also failed to find her burial record or details of a cremation. Many kind officers have responded to emails and letters but no luck as per todays date.
DO YOU KNOW ANY ONE WHO MAY HAVE WORKED IN POWICK IN THE 60'S. OR HAVE YOU HAD A SIMILAR FAMILY EXPERIENCE?
Many thanks
Pauline
