	There are some records of the Asylum at the National Archives in Kew. Not online though - you'd have to go there or get someone to go for you.

I have traced them on the 1841 census, and know they left the Asylum 4 years after entering. Can anyone advise who to contact to find out more details about their stay. Military not being my strong point. I have email the RMA suggested on website several times but heard absolutely nothing.No one in my family is able to furnish me with any information either. I know their parents names as it is on their details, but information beyond that I haven't anything.
