Dea Report 23 May 2015 11:48

It appears that this was his death (from an Ancestry tree), so this would be him on 1901.


Death
1903 23 Apr Age: 46
Thorpe-next-Norwich, Norfolk, England
County Asylum; Huntington's Disease

As they have his date of death and cause, I would think they have obtained a copy of the death cert?

This would be him then in 1901?

Thank you both for that information .. It seems a lot of my Rackham relatives ended up in the asylum , Huntingtons disease being the main cause, such a shame
