Hi there, thank you for providing this service! I am looking for someone who was documented to be in an "insane asylum" by June 1886, in Cork. Records are missing, apparently for that year at Our Lady's Hospital. Of course, I have no idea if she was actually at that institution. I think it was her second husband (she was widowed) that dumped her there, to get rid of her. I have many court records from findmypast about his behaviour towards her :(
I have been in contact with the Cork Archives and they said that it would be like hunting for a needle in a haystack. Any suggestions? I only know she was in there by June 1886, but not when she went in, nor when she came out, if she ever did. :(
Thank you for any suggestions.

Dear Snickers:
Thank you for your post to the Ireland Reaching Out message board. Your best bet might be to contact the Cork Genealogical Society. They are a very well established group who has done a lot of great work recording and preserving Cork heritage over the years. The website address is: http://www.corkgenealogicalsociety.com/.
Please get back to me if you have any further questions.
Kind regards,
Jane
