Cheshire Asylum, Upton by Chester

They are free to view and can be searched by name. I'm using them for my MSc thesis in Genealogy.

For information my research has shown that many patients were transferred from Upton to Parkside and sometimes went back again. It may be worth checking the Parkside records to see if this happened to your ancestor. 
Parkside was actually built as an overspill to accommodate the growing numbers at Upton in the 1870s.

Many thanks for your reply.  I shall certainly check it out.
