  Carol walker, I found a list you can download, cheddleton-pc.org. It has all the people who were buried in the asylum cemetery. I found out my great great grandfather was buried there from looking through the list. Don’t know if it will help you

  You’d be best contacting the local archives and seeing what information they have. If you have a look at https://www.countyasylums.co.uk you can find more information about the hospital and where the archives are kept.

  Hello, my grandfather died in St Edward’s in 1964 . His name was Frank Sherratt.. He lived in Longton but I’ve been told he was interred at St. Edward’s Lawn Cemetery. Does anyone know how I can confirm this or if this was common practice? Thank you.

  my dad use to come here as a boy as he lived round that area back then.he would go inside to perform in choir and while they would wait around they would talk to the patients in here he has told me many a story about it.when a patient escaped the sirens would be heard all over cheddleton sometimes they would come to visit his dad (my grandad) when they escaped because they thought it was cool he lived on a farm

  I’ve been trying to trace the life story of an ancestor and I’ve discovered he ended up spending decades in this asylum, so to find the place I’d read about on the 1901 census, and to see photographs of the place which was his home until he died in 1920 is really moving. I hope that I can get read the records that are in Staffordshire’s archive, though it’s a long way from where I live. Are any available through local history groups or on line. His wife was still alive as he is listed as married in the 1901 and 1911 censuses.

  Yes, it was originally known as ‘The County Asylum Cheddleton’ then ‘St Edwards Asylum, Cheddleton’ and finally just ‘St Edwards Hospital, Cheddleton’

  Thanks DC. I did get the two ledger pages and discovered all sorts of things that I didn’t know about my family, including th ename of a sibling who died at 9 days old. My mother always said she existed, but my great uncle’s Cheddleton record was the first place I found her.

  Hi Coral,

  Quite often the local council have extensive archives have a lot of information including patient records and the like. You might want to see if Staffordshire Council have any records in storage that might help you find out any more information.

  Regards

  Can you help? My aunt was born in 1906 and I know from family history that she was admitted into St.Edwards hospital being pregnant and unmarried. She gave birth to a daughter there who I think died as a teenager but unfortunately I have no dates for my aunt’s admission date or death date or my cousin’s birth or death…..is there anywhere I can get this imformation other than trawling through the death registers. My aunt’s name was Edith Jones. Many thanks for you help. Coral Cozier

  The records of the asylum are held by the staffodshire authorities, I managed to get hold of my great grandfathers who died there in 1913. there were two large ledger pages headed under his name in very florid script! be careful you might not be very impressed with why he was there. with a death in 1901 you should be able to get hold of the records with them being over 100yrs old without any problem with privacy law. A bit of digging through Staffodshire archives should lead you to the source.

  I’ve just discovered that my grandfather’s older brother Thomas Lomas was in Cheddleton Asylum in 1901. is there any way of finding out more about the institution and what individual patients were committed for?
