It's been a long time since I was here and much has happened in between with the Newsome tree being expanded into those of the Hooleys, Brettons, Wrays, Gates, Britt and my own Berry tree. The end result has been the very recent publication of my book From Paupers To iPads - a Journey Across Seven Generations.
Yet that is not the end; the explorations continue - and so do the questions.
Today I received a death certificate for grand-uncle Harold Newsome who died in North Spring House, Kirkburton, in 1975. Was the old Stothes Hall Asylum still being used as "recently" as this? Or had it been modernised by then?
