More info: www.workhouses.org.uk/index.html?Leeds/Leeds.shtml which says 'Records West Yorkshire Archive Service — Leeds, Chapeltown Road, Sheepscar, Leeds, LS7 3AP. Holdings include: Guardians' Minutes (1844-1930); Admissions and discharges (1843-7); Adoptions register (1895-1948); Bastardy register (1844-1930); etc.'
