My great grandmother, Septimea Matthams finished her days in a mental hospital in Romford, according to family legend. Anyone know of such a place?

Hi Raymond www(.)mdx(.)ac(.)uk/www/study/4_13_TA.htm The above is an Index of English and Welsh Lunatic Asylums and Mental Hospitals . Based on a comprehensive survey in 1844, and extended to other asylums. Remove the brackets from the url It's informative and very Interesting Much happiness Debi
