The presentation features an overview of daily life in a County Asylum from c1852 to the early 20th century, together with the personal stories of Catherine, Alice and Maud, and my family relative Emma.

My search for Emma, my Great Grandfather’s sister-in-law, led me into the world of Derby County Lunatic Asylum. With the help of a photo album available to view in the rare reading room at the Wellcome Trust, Euston Road, London, I found Catherine, Alice and Maud. Sadly there was no photograph of Emma, despite her extended stay in the asylum.

The talk is part of Women’s History Month.
