That's great, thank you. From the date of birth it's not looking like the same lady then. A relative gave me this death date but I think their research must be wrong/they have got these to Leah's mixed up.
Thanks again

Hi,

Is anyone free to help at all please?

My great great grandmother was Leah Matthews nee Marten. Born 1849 West Dean, Gloucester, I believe she died on 24.8.1928. I do not as yet have a copy of her death certificate.

Ancestry is showing a possible record for her - UK, Lunacy Patients Admission Registers, 1846-1912. It states her name as Leah Matthews, Admission date 24.12.1898 and death as 24.8.1928 - Gloucester Institution.

I would love to know what this record shows at all if possible and if it is her I am going to try and order and copy of her patients records.

Many thanks
