Title: Bradford Moor Barracks Records
Post by: 1963chris on Thursday 22 March 18 16:59 GMT (UK)

Hi,
My 2x gt grandfather William Bateman (1826 - 1892) was a militia member in Bradford in the 1840s and 50s.  I think he was stationed at Bradford Moor Barracks.  Can anyone tell me if there are any records available for that period, and if they can be accessed?

Thank you,

Chris

You may know that the barracks were not actually in Bradford, but in Pudsey at the corner of Woodhall Lane and Leeds Road.
