Member Since: April 2006 Posts: 391 Send Message	Hi, Is anyone free to help at all please? My great great grandmother was Leah Matthews nee Marten. Born 1849 West Dean, Gloucester, I believe she died on 24.8.1928. I do not as yet have a copy of her death certificate. Ancestry is showing a possible record for her - UK, Lunacy Patients Admission Registers, 1846-1912. It states her name as Leah Matthews, Admission date 24.12.1898 and death as 24.8.1928 - Gloucester Institution. I would love to know what this record shows at all if possible and if it is her I am going to try and order and copy of her patients records. Many thanks

Member Since: April 2006 Posts: 391 Send Message	That's great, thank you. From the date of birth it's not looking like the same lady then. A relative gave me this death date but I think their research must be wrong/they have got these to Leah's mixed up. Thanks again
