Thank you very much ladies, That sounds like them, Mary J and Edith were born to Eliza at 7 Staunton Street, Lincoln in 1899. And Sarah may also be correct, because when my grandmother died my grandfather burnt all her old diaries because of a family secret (the skeleton!). My mum always said she can remember someone mentioning a relative in an asylum! Mmmm now I may have some juicy gossip to tell the rels :-) Thanks again L x
