Find Ancestors

Can anyone please tell me if Asylums filled out a census , thank you

Yes, hospitals of any sort generally did, but often only patients' initials were given, not full names.
It varies from one census to another.

Are you trying to find someone in particular?

Yes Kathleen he is Richard Kyffin Evans born 1859 in Ellesmere Shropshire. We have newspaper reports that he was taken to Gloucester Asylum in 1899 but cannot find any trace of him after that.

I've checked GlosBMD for possible death registered in Gloucester from 1899 to 1936 - nothing.

I have looked for him there too Erika and had no luck whatsoever

A private tree on Ancestry says he died Dec 1926, but as I can't see the tree I don't know where, or if they offer any proof.

Thank you for that. I know who owns the tree but I will not contact them due to a family rift and also they are well known to have wrong facts by the dozen. Also only death I can find registered for that year is way out age wise

Is this your message, or the other person's, on Curious Fox ?

EVANS, Richard Kyffin and John Tilston
Seeking info on fates of Richard Kyffin EVANS (b 15/8/1859, Ellesmere, Shrops)and his brother John Tilston EVANS (b 10/10/1862 Holloway London), eldest sons of Richard Humphrey EVANS (Cotton Merchant b 1830 Hindley, Lancs) and his wife Mary Evans (Nee Tilston b 1836, Ellesmere)who had 9 chidren in all. The eldest boys "disappeared" after 1881 census when they were at home with the family at 3 Marlboro' Road, St John, Upper Holloway. Unable to trace marriages or deaths. Possible family connections in Ellesmere, Shrops, Liverpool and Brazil. Any help much appreciated.

That is the person who is sharing research with me and not the other person in question with the private tree

possible for brother John Tilston Evans

Thought the 1901 census may be brother but his marriage shows that the father of this John T. Evans was called John so can't be your man.

Will leave for elimination

Could this be him in 1901?

The first and second one tie in with what we know. The newspaper was a court case and it said he had been sent to Gloucester Asylum from Essex.Thank you for these and I will take a look at the other ones and see if I can find further information that ties them to him

I am now going to order the Colchester Death Certificate to see if this is our man. The admissions tie in with some of the info we already had and the others do sound very likely to be him.Thank you all very much for your time and help ,it is very much appreciated.

Here he is in 1901:
