I have him (possibly) DOB is a couple of years out but same place of birth as a prisoner at Wakefield in 1851  :o

Just to add, on that find of yours groom, about the 14 days for being drunk and disorderly, he seems to be shown as "Been 10 years in Queens Guards", so it all looks to be adding up  :)

His baptism and parents

George Poskitt
Christening Date:   12 Feb 1828
Fishlake, Yorkshire, England
Father:   Mark Poskitt
Mother:   Hannah Poskitt

Hi again, was already aware of this baptism, but noted due to the confusion  as to year of birth in 1911, this one:- George Poskitt 20th May 1825 Fishlake Father John Mother Mary.

In 1911 he is a Widower, so who/when did he marry, in 1901 is a widowed George aged 72 b Fishlake
Census ref RG13/4418/99/2, and in 1891 a transcribed George ROSKET 65 b Fishlake occ Ag Lab with wife Mary 66 b Campsall
Census ref RG12/3866/116/9

So is this Carter Poskitt?

I wonder if it was a nickname he got from his time in the Queen's Guards, could he have worked with horses?
