Reddington family

Thanks for your comments, Annewiggy. Yes, Sarah's life was very short and must have been extremely hard, surviving on so little money and being scared by the threat of the Workhouse. She died aged 50. According to her death certificate, the causes of death were: 1. Nephritis and 2. Dilation of the heart & heart failure. I did contact Warwick Archives concerning John Reddington's three terms as a patient at Hatton. Because the 100 year time limit hadn't been met, I had to send birth & marriage certificates proving that I was a direct descendent of his. I also had to pay £50 for a detailed search. I did however receive a treasure trove of notes which included a photo of John in a bed at Hatton [I had never seen a photo of him before]. The medical notes were very enlightening but the lady who did the research did warn me that the terminology used back then was not very PC or pleasant and was quite demeaning when referring to patients. Until the 100 years after his death are reached, I was told I could not post the information on Ancestry or other social media [don’t know if rules have changed].
