About this product
Product Information
How can you trace forebears who were patients in lunatic asylums and find out about their lives? What sources can you consult to discover their personal histories and gain an insight into their experiences? In this concise, accessible handbook, Michelle Higgs answers these questions. She provides a fascinating introduction to the subject and gives readers the means to explore the records for themselves. She concentrates on the period from the eighteenth century through to 1948 when the National Health Service was founded and looks in particular at the Victorian era which is the most popular period for research. Using original records, contemporary accounts, photographs, illustrations and case studies of real individuals, she brings the story of the asylums and their patients to life. Different types of institution are described such as private madhouses, county lunatic asylums, facilities for idiots and imbeciles, and military mental hospitals. Chapters look at the admission procedures and daily routine of patients, plus different kinds of mental illness and how they were treated - for instance, those with depression or mania, criminal lunatics, mothers with puerperal insanity, epileptics and soldiers suffering from shell shock. There are sections on the systems in Scotland and Ireland, as well as England and Wales. Information is provided on all the relevant sources, from wills and the census to casebooks and admission and discharge registers. AUTHOR: Michelle Higgs is the author of nine social history books and is a versatile freelance writer specialising in history and heritage. Her work has appeared in a wide range of publications including genealogical magazines such as Who Do You Think You Are?, Your Family History and Discover Your Ancestors. Among her most recent books are Tracing Your Servant Ancestors, Tracing Your Medical Ancestors, A Visitor's Guide to Victorian England and Servants' Stories. 40 b/w illustrations
