You may be interested to know that the Parkside Asylum Patient Casenotes have been digitised by Cheshire Archives and Local Studies and are online.  They are a fantastic resource for genealogists and family historians.
Search the catalogue for the name you are interested in although I have just looked and she is not listed.  I am currently using these records for my MSc thesis in Genealogy so will keep my eyes peeled for her name.

I've just found her records, she is listed as Ann Wright the mother of Thomas E Hopkinson.  She died on 18 March 1893 of General Paralysis. This is a term which means syphilis.  I've attached the links to her casenotes.  Unfortunately there is no photograph of her which there usually is for asylum patients.
