English and Welsh asylum records online at Ancestry

Three new collections concerning English and Welsh asylums and patients are now on Ancestry (www.ancestry.co.uk):

England & Wales, Criminal Lunacy Warrant and Entry Books, 1882-1898

NB: Despite the title of the last collection, I think these registers actually refer only to England and Wales, rather than the United Kingdom.

Stuck for a Christmas gift?! I have a series of genealogy books available in the UK, Australia and Canada, on Scottish, Irish and British based subject areas. Further details at http://britishgenes.blogspot.co.uk/p/my-books.html. Santa approves!
