Hi listers I have an ancestor who died at the Bowling workhouse around 1799, and am wondering if there would be any records for this and any way of getting access? I am in New Zealand. Many thanks Jan

Have a look at http://www.workhouses.org.uk/ Go down through the menu on the left until you find the Bradford workhouse. However it indicates that the records which include: Various minutes (1837-1930); Admissions and discharges (1857-1930); Births and deaths (1838-1930); Creed registers (1869-1930); Punishment book (188-1930); etc. are held by the West Yorkshire Archive Service — Bradford, Registry of Deeds, 15 Canal Road, Bradford BD1 4AT. I believe you can request them to do a search for you.
