Hi
Hope you don't mind Suttontrust but I still had this on my computer so I will post it.
Found it, as reported in the Cleckheaton Advertiser dated 8th December 1882.
Shocking suicide at MoorBottom
On Saturday morning last, a married woman named Sarah Parkin, aged 39 years wife of George Parkin, a grinder in the employ of Messers Thornton Bros, machine makers, Marsh, Cleckheaton and residing in School Street, Moorbottom, commited suicide by drowning in the Broomsfield Mill, Moorbottom. About seven o'clock in the morning she left the home. After that time she does not appear to have been seen alive. At a quarter past nine o'clock John Tidswell, engine tenter at Mr Wadsworth Mill had occasion to go to the dam, and on approaching observed a woman clothes floating in the water. On looking into the water, which was about 3 feet deep, he saw the deceased's body. He raised an alarm and the body was recovered but life was extinct. By direction of P.C Goforth the remains were removed to the husbands house. Deceased had been married 13 years, she had been in a disordered state of mind for two years. She leaves a family of six children.
Suttontrust has the inquest which was also in the paper but I posted that to her house address as it was too much to type it correctly.
