It is not clear why John entered Manor hospital. His family were interesting. John’s brother George, a builder, left £6m in his will. His son Thomas and his wife were killed by a V2 rocket in 1944.

A story revisited by the author when invaluable case notes came to light at the London Metropolitan Archives. What followed resulted in a thorough family history for Walter Cartwright and his family.

The author says, “This has been such an interesting case to try to unravel and kept a couple of us up to the early hours trying to make sense of it!” A fabulous piece of research leaving questions to unravel.

In fact Charles actually died
...in Long Grove Asylum, Epsom. Read his biography here: http://www.hortoncemetery.org/mcnab-charles-john/

James Bates lies in grave 222b.
James was admitted to Horton Asylum in 1911.
No known relatives or friends and he said he had been suicidal.
