Could any kind person, with access to FMP check the records for Prestwych Asylum please?

Im looking for my 2 x Great Grandmother Alice Hurst who was admitted there between 1891 and 6 July 1893 when she died in there,

I would love to know the reason for her being admitted andalso if there is a photo.

Many Thanks

Claire
