Hello Yorkslad,


Can you tell me how to access the paper, as I can't find it anywhere. If not, can you send me a copy of the report

Yorkshire (West Riding) / Henry Battey Crawford 1883-1960
« on: Tuesday 07 June 22 00:59 BST (UK)  »
Looking for information about Henry B Crawford who was knocked and killed in a road traffic accident. I have his death certificate which says that he knocked down by a motor car whilst crossing the Wakefield road at Fitzwilliam, verdict, Misadventure. He died on 27 May 1960 at The General Infirmary, Pontefract. An inquest was held 1st June 1960 by Mr Gill, Coroner for the West Riding.

Would this accident have been reported in the local press and if so, which newspaper? A family rumour says that the driver of the car was a son of the mayor!

Just found  that my wife has ancestors born in Runcorn. Sent for the birth certificate which we received today. Place of birth given as Brick Croft, Runcorn, but I have been unable to find where this is. Does anyone have an old map of Runcorn from 1840-1850 and can find it for me

Yorkshire (West Riding) / Piece Number for Birdwell 1901 Census
« on: Friday 03 February 17 00:53 GMT (UK)  »
My grandfather Alfred George Rowley born 1879 was sent to Birdwell by Barnardos to work in a butcher's shop. He was going blind so was not able to do the work and did not want to return to Barnardos inLondon. He vanished from Birdwell about Feb 1895 and I did not find him again until 1904 when his daughter was born in London. I need to search the 1901 census for Birdwell but do not know the piece number. He was not found in any search I have made of the 1901 census so I need to go through it page by page
