I've picked up JOSEPH HEENAN who at the time of his marriage in 1870 was a warder at an asylum. There is no indication which asylum this was but he was resident atMaryborough.
His father in law WILLIAM LAINE was also a warder
Does anyone know which asylum they might have been at and whether there are any records available that would indicate the names of employees??
Karen Maryborough was where the Aslyum was & is still there as the mental hospital. Have you any information on the Laine's My Lane.s were spelled this way.
Hi Ballypierce, thanks for the info - I'll try and do some further digging on the asylum. Maybe newspapers of the time would help.
Re the Laine's I have Amelia Laine
