Many years ago I posted and article to my website relating to the murder of a nurse Ada Bradley in April 1923. The last update to the article was in December 1921 when I attempted to locate Ada's grave in Wadsley Churchyard. It was ultimately a thankless task which is rather surprising given the nature of Ada's death and the large crowds that attended her funeral.
I have just further updated the article with the entries for Ada and her family from the 1921 UK Census and also discovered the committal document for the murderer Rose Artliff.
She was found guilty of murder but insane and sent to Broadmoor as a "criminal lunatic". She was to spend the rest of her life in Broadmoor.
In fact she died in the March quarter of 1973 at the age of 83 having spent fifty years in that facility.
