Default 1911 Asylum Devizes

I'm trying to find an inmate of the asylum at Devizes.

Here he is in 1901:
1901 Census
ALEXANDER, Walter Thos
DEVIZES, Wiltshire
RG13 piece 1926 folio 158 page 5

He died in 1914.

I'm doing an address search but I can't find the asylum.
In 1901 the address is as follows:
Asylum, Roundway Devizes

There is Asylum Lodge and Asylum Farm Cottage in 1911, but I have lost the asylum and its inmates.

Just what I was going to suggest - I've had a couple like that.

Scuda, I really didn't think I was going to find him.

Poor chap, I wonder what his condition was.
He was a Bank Accountant, and I wonder how long he worked for.

I found the commission of lunacy papers for one of mine at TNA. From memory mine was certified around 1891 and died in 1900.

Merry, I think Wiltshire Archives have some of these records. He's rather on an offshoot of my family, so I might not have time to look if I visit the archives.
