I went to use Jeff Knagg's site to see what asylums were close by only to find the site doesn't seem to exist any more.
Anyway I should be at Tesco now................

If he died in an asylum in Surrey f.e. Brockwood/Woking then his admission and death records should be available to view on Ancestry. I've got a mother and daughter in another family tree who both died in Woking Asylum and their records are available.
That doesn't include workhouses, though.

Here he is then - just over half way down:
James Turner Lunacy Patients Admission Registers, 1846-1912 It says he died 10 Jul 1902, so Deaths Sep 1902 Turner James 59 Guildford 2a 40 So, if that's him the age is a bit off. What do you think?

That's about ten years out, so I'm slightly suspect. Hmm.
Mind you, the Chertsey > Asylum connection is promising.

If you really want to find out, it would be worth a trip to Woking. The case notes are fascinating, if morbid, and detail home circumstances etc. I had a rellie (by marriage) who was convinced that her husband was trying to murder her.

The admission date is the same date the WH discharged him isn't it (from memory)? So, the same person who was 45 in 1901 is 59 the following year so I don't really see an issue with one or both records having the wrong age!

Ah, you're right, I missed the admission date being the same.
Thanks for your help, all of you. As always it is greatly appreciated. See, had it not been for you, I'd have likely stuck with the original 1909 death.
