Is she still there in 1911, she probably was a long term patient. If not try looking for a matching death in that district.

Elizabeth Gibbs is not listed at Glamorgan County Lunatic Asylum in 1911, the patients are listed alphabetically as full names not just initials.  Also, there isn't anyone else there with the initials E.G. that matches up with the 1901 record found by Mabel. 

Maybe she died between 1901 and 1911 .

Glamorgan Archives may be able to help.

Quote from their website below.
"Our volunteers have created an index to case notes for patients at the Asylum, covering the years 1864-1955. Due to the nature of this information access is restricted, contact staff for information and to request a search of the database."

There's a Charles Gibb aged 12 , parents Charles and Ann. Admitted to  Glamorgan workhouse April 1892.
Father Charles Gibbs a mason has deserted the family.
Mother Ann is inmate of workhouse
Last address 55 Wellington Street

1891 Charles elder is a mason. Son Charles is 12.

The religion for 12 year old  Charles is Baptist,  so Non conformist.
Just thought I would add it.

Interestingly when Charles jnr is in the workhouse later in 1892 and again in 1893, his father is described as being in the workhouse rather than having deserted the family.

There's an anglican baptism for Charles in St Margaret's Roath in 1880 - son of Charles (a mason) and Ann

Thanks for all the info. I am ok with Elizabeth's siblings (I am descended from her sister Ann). It's just Elizabeth being difficult

This is of interest but now adds another question
Catherine Saunders death was registered at Bridgend. 1902. So if Elizabeth Gibbs died in the Asylum why is her death not also registered Bridgend.
