I am interested to find out about a possible admission to Winson Green Asylum in Nov 1910 to Jan 1911. According to records, Benjamin John Hucks (3rd great grandfather) was admitted but this is based only on an admissions register so I can't verify if it is my relative. Anyone have any ideas about getting more Information? I guess the library is my best bet. I also have questions about Whitmore St in Hockley in the early 1900s but I haven't worked out how to use this site properly yet!HI all, I'm a new member interested in c.19 asylums - particularly Rubery Hill (if anyone has any information or is curious as to what please see my recent post). I have been searching in the archives at Birmingham library recently and they have a catalog folder (probably available online but personally i prefer tangible research) which I do believe includes this particular asylum. Aware I am 7 years too late in posting my reply, but hopefully the post holder is still active on here and will see this. Asylum records are often fairly rich and include things like medical casebooks, admission records, comments on cure/discharge/death etc. Some of the archives for asylums in B'ham were water damaged *but* if you give B'ham library a ring, as to be put through to the archives department and ask they may just be able to tell you what you may be able to access. Hope that helps
