Notes for Annie Kate DUCKERING
Annie Kate spent time in Kesteven County Lunatic Asylum, Samuel her brother was paid for some of her up keep. (See documents in LA 27.10.97)
Annie Kate was admiited to Rauceby Mental Hospital on the 10th December 1904. (Source Ancestry: The National Archives, Kew; Lunacy Patients Admissions Registers; Class MH 94, piece 39)
Rauceby Hospital: 1932-1997. Gwyneth, Rauceby Reflections - the story of a mental hospital 1902-1992: ‘The hospital was a busy, self sufficient and thriving community. A new nurses’ home and admission hospital had been opened. Cinema equipment had been installed and weekly film shows and dances were a regular feature. Patients and staff went on regular outings to local events and to the seaside. Favourite occasions were the annual sports day (when uniform was worn by all the staff) and in which everyone participated. There were also an annual Fancy Dress dance for which staff made sure that everyone was dressed in costume.
In the mid 1930s sport played a big part in the social make up of firms and organisations occupying large numbers of men. This was observed both locally and nationally. Many firms were as well known for their soccer teams as for their products. Fashions of the day spread just as quickly then as they do now and mental hospitals throughout Great Britain were quick to follow the trend. The supply of labour during this period was far in excess of demand and hospitals gradually became more selective about who they employed. In those hospitals where the Management Committee, Medical Superintendent and Chief Male Nurse favoured or played a particular sport it became of major importance that any successful male applicant for a job be of above average ability in the game that the hospital wished to excel in.
Dr Henderson was a keen sportsman and by judicious selection of his staff he raised the standard of the hospital soccer teams to a point where they were equal, if not better, than most of those within a 40 mile radius. Top honours were denied the hospital as it was privileged to play all games at home for the purpose of entertaining the patients; as a result all converged on Rauceby for these matches. The games provided a motive and stimulus within the hospital and opened new fields of communication between staff and patients. The hospital teams, over the years, were proud winners of the Bourne, Culverthorpe and Billingborough Cups and a Ruskington Medal for scoccer.’
In Abra Palin's will in 1920 Annie Kate is left a sum of money and she is still unmarried. (See Abra's will - Michael)
