	They didn't need much of an excuse to sling you in a asylum or workhouse back then, for the so called fallen woman life was grim :-( :-(

	I am working my way through her notes, and I think she was more mad after they had finished with her! I think she had only had a bit of a breakdown. Worrying about my 3xGreat Uncle's health and their reduced circumstances as he was no longer able to work by the sound of it.

	Institutions I think Belle. You remember me telling you all that my Great Grandfather worked for the British Consulate in Persia and also had links to the Shah of the time. Well this lady was his Aunt by marriage. Her husband did the same job in Malta where he married her, as my G.Grandfather did in Persia. Well in the doctors account of her ramblings she was talking about the Shah and the doctor recorded that she had in fact thrown a hadkerchief at the Shah. Which means that the generation before my G.Grandfather had also links to Persia :-0
