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.

If you are not a member of Find My Past, I can search for you the newspaper records if you give a few details on who you are looking for.

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.
