I'm looking for anything I can find on William Hakeney, who died in Hull aged 93 in 1930. He became an inmate of the Hull Charterhouse in 1907, and he's mention in a piece in the local paper about voting in the General Election of 1926. Are there any details on censuses etc?
-
It looks like he may have been baptised at Sutton on Hull on 30 October 1836. parents are Abel Hakeney, a Butcher and Elizabeth.
(If this is the correct person he has been transcribed on Find My Past as Hackney -- but the filmed record looks like Hackeney. The abode of the family was Sutton.
Is this the type of record you are seeking? Then onwards through census records?
-
I have just spotted a family tree on Ancestry which includes William Hakeney. It goes as far as the 1891 census -- includes parents Abel and Elizabeth and William's own wife, shown as Annie Ringrose along with their, or some of their children.
-
There is a tree on familysearch.

Hi Kloumann - how strange that the family tree on Family Search (well done on thinking of that - I never do think of Family Search trees) - and the one on Ancestry - both end with the 1891 census as far as I can see.
He is still around in 1901 as a widower and a Pork Butcher (his father had been a Butcher).
Shown as born Sutton, which confirms the baptism location. Age given as 55 (which is wrong!)- living at 52 Bean St, Kingston upon Hull.
-
Can't even find his 1930 death.
Well done with the 1901 which I could not find or 1911
Added
familysearch has him in Leeds in 1901
-
Found his death on GRO but familysearch has it wrong. It has his birth as 1921 & death 1930.

In 1911 he is in Sculcoates Union Workhouse - Retired Pork Dealer, Shopkeeper aged 73. born Sutton on Hull. Shown as Hakenley on the actual census page.
I am looking on The Genealogist so I don't know how he has been transcribed elsewhere.
ADDED - in 1901 Ref is RG!3/4503/F?
-
Good find, Pennines
-
Brilliant, both of you. But are you sure the census says the workhouse? He was definitely admitted to the Charterhouse in 1907, was there in 1926 and, presumably, died there in 1930. It's vaguely possible that he was sent to the workhouse infirmary for a time, but not likely.
-
He is in the Charterhouse - it's on the end of the same set of images as the workhouse, so I guess the description has been carried over in some transcriptions
-
Thank you Mabel -- it does show as Sculcoates Union Wokhouse on the Genealogist.
Suttontrust it is just possible that you may be able to obtain copies of his Charterhouse records from the local Archives.
If this was me, I would firstly obtain his death certificate to see where he died. However as you definitely know he was in the Charterhouse - it would still be worth checking with the Archives. I am honestly not sure whether that would be Leeds or Wakefield - sorry, but if you contact one of them they may know. West Yorkshire records seem to be split between various places.
-
I have the Charterhouse records, Pennines - the register which goes from 1832 up to 1921. And the Hull Daily Mail piece from the by-election of Nov 1926 names him as one of the residents.
Thank you, Mabel, confusion solved.
-
My apologies suttontrust for;
1. The misleading information on the 1911 census, on the Genealogist -- I didn't make up the Workhouse location.
2. Suggesting you obtain the records you already hold!
-
Please don't apologise. I'm incredibly grateful to anyone taking the time to help me. Thank you again.
