John Leck Walton 1857-1914
My Great Grandfather lived at 4 Filey Parade Gillett Street Hull on 7th October 1899 he attacked his wife Mildred with a poker he was remanded for 8 days. On 30th December he attacked Mildred again and the Lodger Ben Rhodes he was charged and committed for trial at the sessions. I found all this in the Hull Daily Mail but I can't find out anymore. In 1912 he was in Hull City Asylum where he died in 1914. I paid to check it was really him and at some point before the Asylum he was in the Workhouse. Did he go to Prison? how can I find out? thank you for reading.

Have you looked for him on the 1901/1911 census?

1901 for Mildred down as wife but no John. 

However children aged 3 - 6 - 8 - 9 - 10 - 12 - 15 which indicates John was out and about. 

At least one more child born after that.

In 1901 John Leck is in Aldershot as he was in the Army, I have his Army records and he was in the Boer War I can't find him in 1911 but suspect he was in Hull workhouse. Mildred lived with her Daughter in 1901 and in 1911 had moved to Luddendenfoot where she met a James Rock and married him after John Leck had died. I would love to know where he really was in between 1901 and July 1912 when he was admitted to Hull City Asylum and where he died in 1914, number 65417.
