Hi Mal, I found the following on the Bradford Observer card-index at the library,this afternoon,and wondered if he was yours. 'John PARKER of Windhill Crag,cloth manufacturer.Death 7.5.1863. I looked this up on the relevent B.O.microfilm---Thursday May 7th.1863 The only addition to the card index info was that he died 'on Sunday week'!!!! [What on earth does that mean ?] Cheers-------Derek.
