Andy Given that your Joseph lived and worked in the Dewsbury area; that the Joseph born Cumberworth died in 1857 and that the ages on the 1841 census were supposedly rounded down to the nearest five year point - which would give a date of birth of between 1781 and 1786 I think that the most likely candidate is the one born Mirfield who in 1841 was living at Thornhill and working as a weaver.

Hope this helps Christine Has anyone come across any records for Dewsbury Workhouse on the 1851 census? The Workhouse.org.uk site only mentions 1881. I'm looking for Joseph Micklethwaite who (I believe) is missing from the census, but it was pointed out that he was paralysed when he died (1854) so he might have been in the Infirmary. He was born about 1783 and I have most of his other details, apart from the 1851 and his baptism.

Hi Wendy Thanks for looking. That's the one - but I can't find him on the *1851* census. His death cert. (1857) states paralysis, so my contact wondered if he was in a hospital - the best bet for that would be Dewsbury Workhouse (assuming it had an infirmary). Hence my interest in finding the 1851 Workhouse entry.
