Help with death of Robert Dunt

[Nell]

Following KiteRunner's post about new Lunacy Asylum Records on Ancestry, I found a distant relative, Kezia Dunt. I also found a Robert Dunt, who was in Colney Hatch

He's at the bottom of the page. It gives his death in 1866 but I can't find a corresponding death in the GRO registers, so I don't know his age and can't therefore tell if he is one of my Robert Dunts.

Any ideas?

Surely he's the second one down, born 1840?

The 1861 census is no help. Just says aged 20, occupation & birthplace unknown

Silly me, I've got Robert Dunt b 1841 in Cheshunt, died 1866 Barnet already in my tree. I just can't see the GRO index entry. He's definitely one of mine, so that's 4 Dunt family members who died in the loony bin!

Patience Dunt & Keziah Bridget Dunt died in Norfolk Asylum, Robert Dunt in Colney Hatch, and Maria Dunt in Banstead.

Just drawn a diagram. Patience had a brother called Adam, Robert is his grandson. Patience & Adam's brother John was father of Kezia Bridget, and grandfather (through his son, another Adam) of Maria Dunt.

Nell, the link you posted shows the GRO entry, doesn't it?? :D

Just drawn a diagram and found that Robert and Bridget were 3rd cousins.

Yes it does, I'm going bonkers. I thought I'd posted the entry for his lunatic asylum admission. I honestly looked at the GRO indexes several times, don't know how I missed it - don't say it;s because there's insanity in the family!

[Nell]

Well of course I'm going bonkers. I already had the info in my tree. But the lunatic asylum entry does give me his death date, I certainly wouldn't be forking out for the death cert.

No, that's not the reason! If it was, I wouldn't have found the GRO entry either!! :D
