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. TIA Andy.

Many thanks Christine for looking around. In fact there are more than 2 candidates, although the illegitimate daughter of Fanny is top of my probables list. Getting anything like proof of that is difficult. I have a lot of info on them all! The Cumberworth one is well documented and survives in Cumberworth till after the 1851 census. Most of the Ancestry trees have copied from someone who jumped to a wrong conclusion some years back and now has no interest in correcting his assumptions - he claimed Joseph was born in Darfield, when the Darfield Joseph had a well-documented family in that area. There are also events in Emley, Denby and even Ashton under Lyme that may or may not be connected. Which is why I was so keen to find him on the '51 census. Nancy has died by then. Nor is he living with daughter Sarah/Sally Tweedale/Tweddle who was the informant at his death. However, it has been pointed out to me that some parts of the Thornhill census were lost. Thanks, Andy.

Hi, I have recently been looking at some documents at TNA (E 178/4919 http://www.davekinggenealogy.co.uk/Whitby/E178_4919.html ) which relate to a George Woodward of Glaisdale who had been hanged for a felony, most likely some time between about 1610 and 1623, possibly also with his wife. By implication, this involved the murder of a Myles Rudde. I have been unable to find any other details of the crime, or confirmation of when and where the execution took place - it doesn't appear in the published list of executions at York Castle. Is anyone able to shed any light on this? Thanks, Dave
