Trying to obtain death details of my grandmother Elizabeth Knight (nee West)
Elizabeth West married 16th February 1904 ,in the Dublin Registry office, to my grandfather Alfred Knight. He died on 28th April 1912, in Dublin from TB.
This left my grandmother with 4 children under 8 years of age. She may have had a breakdown and she could have been admitted to a mental asylum, possibly known as "Richmond."
The Children were;
Alfred, who went to Canada & married and lived there with his wife & 2 children. Only one now alive.
Ursula, no details known
Charles (my father) came to Australia, aged 14, in 1923, under the Dreadnaught scheme, married & had 6 children.
James, no details known
We believe the 4 young children were cared for by a Dr Fluery (female) for some time, before being moved on to other facilities.
There is said to be an obituary for Dr Fluery, but we have not located it.
Our main aim at this time is to obtain details of my grandmothers death and the obituary for the kind Dr Fluery.
We also have a Family Tree on Ancestry.com ( garyknight1979 )
It was suggested that I contact your site for assistance.
Yours Sincerely
Gary & Wendy Knight
