Not so good news, the records are held in Wakefield. Here. http://www.archives.wyjs.org.uk/index.asp?pg=rodfaq.html Looks like you have to ring first and make an appointment. Bob

I live in Castleford. The electoral roles may be in the library here or in Wakefield. I could ask for you, which year? Bob
