Thanks. Does it say who informed the Registrar? It's often a family member.

Possible 1871 census for this Elizabeth in Bury, as a servant in a Hoyle household:
RG10/3958 fo23 p39 - surname looks like Summers, but birthplace is Rivington, which could match with her earliest memory.

Signature, description and residence of informant:
E. Sumner
Mother
53 Shaw St
Great Bolton
Of course none of this is the original birth certificate. It’s certified copy dated 23/12/2016 when I ordered it.
It also says when and where born 53 Shaw Street.
Does anyone know what the address of the Asylum was? When I google that address it brings up Shaw ROAD not street. I don’t know if that’s the same?

In #1 you say Frederic was born in Prestwich asylum yet in #11 he's registered in East Bolton. Those 2 bits of info don't match. I can't find a burial for Elizabeth on Manchester Burials. You'll find loads of info/images about the asylum on the Manchester City Council website. Well worth a look.

As far as I can see, 53 Shaw Street, Great Bolton and Prestwich Mental Asylum are entirely separate places, about 8 miles apart (as loobylou has also pointed out while I've been typing this).
And I could be wrong, but I think a birth in an asylum would more likely be registered by a member of staff than the mother, who by definition might be deemed incapable of doing something like that. So again, are you mixing up two Elizabeths, and is the one in the asylum just a coincidence?
As it happens, 53 Shaw Street is just round the corner from Bolton Workhouse, but I haven't seen anything on the Workhouses website to indicate that there was any connection.

The 1861 and 1871 census entries for 53 Shaw Street appear to show ordinary working people, with nothing to indicate a connection to the workhouse. None of them were called Sumner, but it looks the sort of place where people might have moved fairly frequently. (I've seen this in my family in Leeds.)
1861: RG9/2827 fo91 p46
1871: RG10/3939 fo97 p50

Excellent find marj. Manchester Burials only record council run cemeteries. Formerly of Salford would suggest to me it's a different Elizabeth. Elizabeth's father is stated as William not John. I think there is a bit of confusion here.
