Yes, I can see it now, thank you everybody. Thomas Tib and Elizabeth Denbie both of Hambleton, I was trying to make the both part of the surname before.

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.

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.

I'm not sure he's ever given an occupation, his brother Lawrence is a Lining (Linen?) weaver and other members of the family farmers or husbandmen.

I can't find any entries on find my past that look like they could be a will for Henry King in 1680. The Thomas King who dies in 1735 leaves one which I've ordered but I doubt that he will be leaving things to his siblings.

I'm something of a regular visitor to special collections at the University of Leeds since I am fortunate enough to live quite close to Leeds. Their Quaker Collections, Clifford Street and Carlton Hill only contain a handful of Wills and there don't appear to be any for the King family. Mostly they are minute books, records of sufferings, petitions for prisoners, things like that. The most useful for working out families (at least at this date, more stuff becomes available later on) are the minute books which record requests to marry and confirmations that marriages have happened some of which don't appear to have made it into registers (for example the marriage of William Watson & Mary King in 1721 is in the minute books but not, as far as I can see, the registers). They also have removals in and out of the meeting area and disownments, which often give the name of a parent. These minute books are also mostly unindexed so have to be read through and I've not yet found anything to help work out the elder Henry's children.

It looks like for that I'm going to need baptisms and I'm not finding any, although you would think a Lawrence would stand out. Having seen from other threads that some people here have an almost magical ability to find people I felt it was worth asking.
