Thread: Look Up Please. Samuel Bann. (1891)

Hi



Looking for info on Samuel Bann born c1823 Stockport

married to Catherine in 1857 in Stockport. Catherine born in Ireland 1837 and died in Stockport 1911.

They had 6 children Richard born 1858 Mary Catherine b 1860

Thomas born 1863

Josiah born 1865

Walter born 1868

Esther Jane born 1871

I found Samuel in the 1881 Census living as inmate in Broadmoor Criminal Lunatic Asylum

His wife Catherine in the 1881 Census, still married as the Head of Household with her children.

I'd love to know if Samuel was back with his wife Catherine in 1891 or whether he died in Broadmoor.



Thanks.
