Hi All I've got a relative as an inmate at the above establishment in the 1881 census: Abraham FEATHER Birth Year <1831> Birthplace Howarth, York, England Age 50 Occupation Outdoor Labourer Marital Status U <Unmarried> I've checked the 1901 census - not on there I've checked the FreeBMD for a death - nothing that is even a slight possibility. Does anyone know : 1. When this workhouse closed 2. Where inmates were buried if they died in "captivity" It's not desperate that I know this information - just to tidy up a few loose ends and for completeness of data but I've been looking for the old lad for ages (well his parents are a bit of a brick wall too - Robert and Betty FEATHER (nee HOLMES) of Thornton,both born circa 1808 at Oxenhope/.Haworth, married in 1832 at Bradford Cathedral, last seen on the 1851 census at New Halifax, Thornton - abducted by aliens sometime after perhaps?). Other Children of this marriage: 1.Abraham (as above) 2.Edwin b. 1836 (was a Green Grocer at Lane Side, Thornton, married to Sarah) 3.Margaret Ann b.1839 (poss. married into a TETLEY family) 5. Susannah b. 1845 (poss. married Charnock WOOD) 6.John b.1847 (married Jane SAVILLE) Bright Blessings Dawn
