Yes, it seems that you do.
There are no records searchable online, unfortunately.

Hi all,
This maybe a bit of a Longshoot but trying to find records about Francis also known as Frank. I have used the birth and death records and know he was born in Salford in 1914 and died in the 1990’s in Salford. I know that he was placed into a hospital (asylum) in Lancashire but can’t find any records of when he was placed in and when he left.
His father was George Henry Hart.
Any advice/ ideas of websites that I can conduct further research would be most appreciated.
Thanks in advance and thanks for reading this enquiry too.
