She may have been moved to another institution - I think accessing the asylum records via the Glamorgan archive link posted by Jool might be your best option

Dear everyone

thank you so much for your help.

I have found her. She was, indeed, sent to the asylum. Glamorgan archives have sent me the information and it makes very sad reading. I am so glad I did this. Nobody deserves to be forgotten.

How sad, but at least you found her and she has been remembered.
Is there a death record for her.
Census information is Crown Copyright (see: www.nationalarchives.gov.uk)

There is a problem with the death as Glamorgan archives have sent some information about two Elizabeth Gibbs. My Elizabeth was sent to Glamorgan Asylum in 1888 suffering from epilepsy. However  the other Elizabeth was sent to Parc Gwyt with dementia where she died in 1896 at the age of 64. So I still have a bit of digging to do

Glamorgan Asylum and Parc Gwyllt are the same place

I'm wondering if you've read the notes correctly, as I can;t see an Elizabeth Gibbs death in 1896 that matches.

The Elizabeth Gibbs that died in 1896 was in her 60s when she died. My Elizabeth would have been 29 in 1896

The notes that Glamorgan archives sent me that do relate to my Elizabeth states she was moved to Parc Gwylit in 1889.
