Morning all! Just wanted to say that I found the person I was looking for - and have just received the death certificate this morning. The district for Claybury Hospital is listed as Ilford, and the address states 1a Manor Rd, UID (not sure what UID means, but it is the right place anyway). Many thanks for your help !

Hi all, I am having trouble finding the death records of a relative who died in Claybury Hospital, which I think was a mental institution. Am I missing something? She died in 1950, but can't seem to find any reference to her.
Many thanks, Dee.
