No, you will have to contact the records office by email and ask for their help - they will do a search for a fee and email you copies of any information they find.

Get his death certificate ( if its post 1837) and it will tell you when he died, where he died and who notified the death.

You can then go to the records office and look for the asylum records. It may be that the local health authority still have them, but the records office will be able to tell you that.

You won't get them online. The records office may not release them if they are less than 100 years old.

You can search most RO catalogues online, or via the A2A website, to see if they hold the asylum records.
