Unmarked grave John Manning (1892-1917)
It has not been possible to establish anything for certain about John, other than that he was born in 1892 and lived at Queens Road, Berkhamsted before his admission to Hill End Asylum, on the outskirts of St Albans, where he died in December 1917.
It is not known what John was suffering from – at the time mental hospitals took patients suffering from what we would now recognise as mental illness, learning disabilities and epilepsy.
What makes this even more tragic is that John had married Constance Smith in Berkhamsted on 16 June 1917 and she was expecting their daughter when he died. Sibyl Florence was born safely and in June 1921 she and her mother were living with Constance’s parents in Berkhamsted. Constance married William Frank Fensome in Berkhamsted in 1926.
