Have you found them on any census

Marriages Jun 1887
Holly William Bath 5c 1053
Pickering Alice Priscilla Bath 5c 1053

The death certificate would seem more to tie up with the Edith that I posted birth and census info for above

I can confirm that Edith Louise Holly was born on 14 Jun 1891 at Warleigh,Bathford,RSDand her parents were listed as William Holly and Alice Priscilla Pickering.. The death cert States the a Edith Holley died on the 12 Nov 1970 at 19 ManorRd Redbridge.the date of birth is said to be 6 Aug 18919 I believe that this could be either christing or date commited to the hospital.She does not appear in any of the family censors. What I need is some information that the Edith Holley on the death certQBDY875414 is the Edith Louise Holly (as per details given) are the same?

Thanks John Holley

Welcome to the Community boards John.



(I'll let John know how to find his replies) :-)

Earlier hospital records here:

http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/hospitalrecords/details.asp?id=32&page=13

Maybe try contacting London Metropolitan Archives or one of the administrative bodies listed, in case they can tell you where more recent records would be?

if she never married this looks like her on the census

seems its been shut down and built on
History[edit]
Claybury was built from 1889-1893.The land was previously used for chickens.The architect was George Thomas Hine; Peter Cracknell describes it as the first Compact Arrow design. Situated on the brow of a hill, the site incorporated around 50 acres (200,000 m2) of ancient woodland and 95 acres (380,000 m2) of open parkland, ponds, pasture and historic gardens. These had been designed in 1789 by the landscape architect Sir Humphry Repton for the owner, James Hatch, of what was then called the Claybury Estate. "Claybury" was the name given to a fictitious village in the stories of W. W. Jacobs, but is generally thought to be based on nearby Loughton, where Jacobs lived.

From 1893 it was known as London County Lunatic Asylum, Ilford.

Closure[edit]
With the Care in the Community Programme and the inevitable decline in patient numbers from its peak of 4,000 patients, Claybury faced a difficult future. The NHS pressed for extensive demolition and maximum new build, whereas the Local Planning Authority and English Heritage argued for maximum retention of the historic buildings and restriction of new build to the existing footprint, in accordance with the Green Belt allocation in the Unitary Development Plan.

A 60 day Public Inquiry was held in 1997 and the Council/English Heritage position was accepted. The hospital was shut down and converted into luxury flats called Repton Park by Crest Nicholson, working closely with English Heritage and the London Wildlife Trust.

They may have but whether they would open them is another question.

What are you trying to find ??

Can the Claybury Hospital still have patient files?

Died 12 Nov 1970 at Claybury Hospital
