Brilliant Site. I found the buriel of William Salt in St John's Halesowen. I had a missing William - couldn't find him on any census or BMD's after 1861 when he was with his parents in Halesowen. His buriel was in 1902, and his place of abode was Powick. I found him in 1871 in Powick Lunatic Asylum and again in 1891. Couldn't find him in 1881 so googled the asylum and came up with his details. Born in Halesowen, died in 1902. And a report of his condition, including dates. Really sad, but the site is definitely worth knowing about. There are people in their from all over the place.
