Hi I'm trying to find the above death and would welcome some help.
Richard Bramham Cordwainer and Ann Whitehead married at Leeds St Peter's on the 28th of October 1816.
They have a son George born 1 July 1817 and baptised at Saint Mary the Virgin Hunslet on 13 Aug 1817 son of Richard and Ann Bramald Hunslet, father a shoemaker.
Ann Bramald marries James McGregor at All Saints Wakefield by Banns on the 20th of June 1827, no marital status is given for Ann but on the 1851 Census George is living with her described as her son, so this would appear to be her remarriage.
I just don't seem to be able to find Richard dying. I would be really grateful if anybody could help me out with this.

Unfortunately I don't, I can give you Ann's birth date that's 1797 because she is 54 on the 1851 census.
Would somebody from Hunslet/Leeds be likely to have ended up in Kippax Workhouse, I don't know how the workhouses were set up but would expect Leeds to have had its own, that may be a completely incorrect assumption.

I've found a list of the places included in the Gilbert Union for Great Preston Workhouse on www.workhouses.org.uk, it doesn't include Leeds or Hunslet. It looks as if Leeds had it's own parish workhouse which would likely cover Hunslet since it was a chapelry of Leeds. So I'm not sure if I can say that this is the right Richard.
