Help with death of Robert Dunt
Following KiteRunner's post about new Lunacy Asylum Records on Ancestry, I found a distant relative, Kezia Dunt. I also found a Robert Dunt, who was in Colney Hatch
http://search.ancestry.co.uk/cgi-bin...&uidh=i02&cp=4 He's at the bottom of the page. It gives his death in 1866 but I can't find a corresponding death in the GRO registers, so I don't know his age and can't therefore tell if he is one of my Robert Dunts. Any ideas?

Silly me, I've got Robert Dunt b 1841 in Cheshunt, died 1866 Barnet already in my tree. I just can't see the GRO index entry. He's definitely one of mine, so that's 4 Dunt family members who died in the loony bin!
Patience Dunt & Keziah Bridget Dunt died in Norfolk Asylum, Robert Dunt in Colney Hatch, and Maria Dunt in Banstead. Just drawn a diagram. Patience had a brother called Adam, Robert is his grandson. Patience & Adam's brother John was father of Kezia Bridget, and grandfather (through his son, another Adam) of Maria Dunt.

Just drawn a diagram and found that Robert and Bridget were 3rd cousins.

Yes it does, I'm going bonkers. I thought I'd posted the entry for his lunatic asylum admission. I honestly looked at the GRO indexes several times, don't know how I missed it - don't say it;s because there's insanity in the family!

Well of course I'm going bonkers. I already had the info in my tree. But the lunatic asylum entry does give me his death date, I certainly wouldn't be forking out for the death cert.

No, that's not the reason! If it was, I wouldn't have found the GRO entry either!!
