Hi could someone look up Selina Sice in 1891.Thanks she was born Abt 1829 Debbie

Is it the follow on for this family? 1881 Ellen Ashford abt 1798 Somerset, England Lodger Aston Warwickshire Joseph Sice abt 1819 London, London, Middlesex, England Head Aston Warwickshire Selina Sice abt 1829 Somerset, England Wife Aston Warwickshire I would have expected that to be a mistranscribed name...... Any ideas of the usual spelling? Tice? Lice (surely not!!? LOL) Merry

OK I take it all back.....death of hubby?? Name: Joseph William Sice Birth Date: abt 1820 Year of Registration: 1882 Quarter of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep Age at death: 62 District: Aston County: Warwickshire Volume: 6d Page: 201 Merry

yes thats the one here we go different spellings Fice Sick Syce Sico Just a few thanks

Yes i got the death But Selina dies in 1900 but i was told they both ended up in a mental hospital and was wondering if it might show on a census

I can't find her!! If she was in an asylum, or similar, she might be down with just her initals.....but I can't see her that way either!! Do you know where in Somerset she was from? Merry

I dont know if this could be her, All Saints is a well known mental Asylum in Aston Birmingham but I think in 1891 it was just a workhouse & hospital.. Name: Selina Ellison Age: 63 Estimated birth year: abt 1828 Relation: Patient Gender: Female Where Born: Birmingham Civil parish: Birmingham Ecclesiastical parish: All Saints County/Island: Warwickshire Country: England Street address: Occupation: Condition as to marriage: Education: Employment status: View image Source information: RG12/2401 Registration district: Birmingham Sub registration district: All Saints ED, institution, or vessel: Workhouse Infirmary Folio: 113 Page: 13 (click to see others on page) GSU Number: 6097511 Georgina.

In one census it says Taunton Somerset another says Clay Haydon.... Sorry i think its Joseph and Selina son and wife was in a mental hospital, im getting mixed up again They are Eliza and John B Sice but have found them in 1901 and they are with there family so it must have been after that

Geogina Its possible that she might have married again i will have to check. But for some reason what i have been told a lot of them ended up in mental hospitals...im alright at the moment but getting worried if it runs in the family lol

Don't forget (says I, who has lots of Victorian rellies in ''hospitals'')....many people were put in institutions who would never be there today, or would be easily treated today, but in those days were not understood............. I expect even if you were admitted sane, you wouldn't last very long?! Merry

Thats true Mary I had one that escaped and jumped in a canal and drowned
