Wakefield Family History Sharing

The person you are looking for, not where you thought they should be?

Try looking through the following list of the staff of the West Riding Lunatic Asylum for the census night of April 5th 1891

In the census only staff are given their full name, patients names are given as abbreviations and are therefore not listed

Census R12/3747 folio 128-130

I have used abbreviations for married (m), single (s) and widower/widowa (w)when the person is born in Yorkshire I have just put the place. I have tried to decipher some entries but where I am totally unsure I have used **. The 1891 enumerator has placed his 'tick' marks through the profession and age headings, therefore, quite a few will have **. I have placed (?) before full missing words and after words if there is doubt over the word. I have used a copy Postal Addresses and Index to Postcodes to help with place names.

!! Note: As with all transcripts - if in doubt, try and check with the original !! The transcripts are only as good as the deciphering of the person doing the work.
