I am searching for information on the family of Winterburn in Pontefract. Richard Winterburn (Abt 1771 to 1848) was a currier at various times in Horsefair and Castle Chain. I think he married Sarah Lapidge (1779 to 1853) in 1798. They had a number of children, including Matilda, my great great grandmother, but I can’t find any information on her birth. She married James Myers, a joiner, in 1839. I have no further information on James other than he was out of the picture by 1848 when Matilda died in Pontefract workhouse, age 33, leaving two sons, Thomas (age 7) and James (age 2). James’ father was a parchment maker and could have had trade connections with Richard Winterburn. I can’t find any information on him either. Can anyone help?
