It may be worth contacting the Cheshire Archives as that is where Winwick records are kept. I see that a death can't be found as yet, but the records may hold a clue. There were some inmates who were buried in the grounds apparently. :-(

it sounds awful, I know ........... but sometimes people back then put "damaged" babies into care and then paid no more attention to them.


but I can't find James anywhere else, I can't see a death for him on freebmd from 1911 to 1965

I would now suggest looking for a death much later to see if he turns up

no sign of James on those censuses, I did check before searching under his initials.

I also checked for mis=spellings.

No sign of him either on Public Family trees


which is why I tried the initials only route.

Also worth considering that there are lots of possible spelling variants for the surname!
Darricutt, Dorricutt, Derricut, Darricott...........

could this be him??????????

1911 Census

There is a note in the last column "imbecile at birth"

It is the County Lunatic Asylum, Winwick, Warrington, Lancs.

It's always worth remembering that people in asylums, hospitals, prisons, etc are quite often shown only by their initials
