does anyone know the whereabouts of Ronald Parks, born 1934 in Llandilofawr, Carmarthenshire,or David Parks, born 1935 in Carmarthen, Carmarthenshire. They were both in St. Crispins Hospital, Northampton in the 1950s? Any info would be most welcome. We know about family in Wellingborough but unfortunately no-one there knows where they are this is why we are searching. I am part of the family. Where are records for St. Crispins kept now.

Probably not the best idea to mention this hospital. You should consider removing those rather personal details.

Looks like they had 2 sisters who married in Wellingboro. Have tried tracing them?

St Crispins was massive, and it didn*t take much to be sent there. Its long gone now.

They may only have had something lke epilepsy.

it also had convalescent beds- so they may have been recooperating after ilness

St Crispins also employed a lot of people.

You know hey were there - how? - do you know why?

don't know why they were there in first place but would love to find out where they are now. do not show in death or marriage records.
