An ancestor of my husbands died in Dykebar in 1928. After googling Dykebar Asylum I emailed the greater Glasgow NHS board archivist who gave me an email address to try. This came back unable to be sent. I don't know where to write to see if its possible to get copys of any records. I believe the hospital has now closed. Any ideas?
