Hello,
I was just wondering if anyone lives near here and would be willing to do me a 'look up' there?
It is for the register of deaths at the Selby Union Workhouse.
I have an ancestor who i believe died in there,and i was told by the records office that if he is on the death register there, the register can provide details such as: the date of death; name; age; address when admitted; usual place of abode; certified cause of death; and when and where buried.
I live in Manchester, so i can't get to the reocrds office in Yorkshire.

Alison.
