grannypat Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Hi Herbie117, I'm sure that it's possible to view court records but I've had trouble finding any for 1931. However, I did find newspaper articles which provided a lot of information. It would probably have been Leeds Assizes. Have a look and see if you can find what you need that way. Some nespapers can be viewed via Find My Past website. Hope this helps. Grannypat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

History dude Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 I did have a good look around for any further references to him and so far have not found anything. Do you know when he was born? I think I have seen that on FMP. see below Ancestry do have some of the records for the courts of West Yorkshire, however I no longer have access to Ancestry. But there are plenty on here who do. So can someone check for George Henry Oakes. First marriage record.....
