I have a lot of great aunts and uncles. My grandfather was one of 12, that's without counting my other three grandparents. But I have just discovered one great aunt, she was a children's nurse in the 1901 census but by 1911 she was in a lunatic asylum. She was only 29 and i'm really saddened by this. She died two years later.
At least we live in more enlightened times now, but I can't help wondering what happened to her. Maybe a nervous breakdown or similar. From what i hear about asylums they would be enough to make anyone mad- use of strait jackets etc. oh dear, the poor girl .....
What were the first ever records that you bought and when?
Parents-in-Law. What do/did you call them?
