New Free Space and Category for Provincial Lunatic Asylum at Saint John

Question

I became interested in this topic after finding my 2G-Grandmother (Browne-2258) spent the last 20 years of her life in this institution.  It has an interesting 150+ year history of treating close to 15000 patients.  I have linked a couple of the many articles available about it.

I have begun transcribing the census records. 1871 and 1881 are complete. 1891-1821 have been found but not begun. Any help in transcribing these records would be greatly appreciated.

See also the Provincial Hospital Cemetery at findagrave, which contains the graves of patients like Mad Johnny and some staff.
