Hi Robert
Just reading the info re Tom Jessop. Whilst it is available on line from the lancashire library, the news from the papers available is not just for the Lancashire area, unless you have had a pm to inform you differently, I would think that his family were together in Dalton Huddersfield. JLe

Hi Bob,

If this is Tom Jessop who was a Carter by trade and lived in Dalton and married Harriet, from reading the archive newspaper reports it's seems that the marriage was quite turbulent.

I have read reports that he was constantly in front of the School Board for his children not attending school and a few reports of incidents at home regarding his wife...... maybe be link to a conviction??

Good luck,

Hi Robert
Just trying to confirm your enquiry. Regarding the Huddersfield riots and the Luddites, it culminated with the death of William Horsfall but this took place around April 1812. If your relative was born in 1857 then I would say he was in Wakefield for some other reason. I haven't the information at hand but I know someone called Mellor was hanged. If you google "William Horsfall"+ "Luddites" it will give you some background to riot and the ultimate downfall following his murder. I will look elsewhere to see if I can find any info on Thomas Jessop- JLe
