Dear Bren

It may be of help to know that Castleford had its own registration office
between 1862 and 1868 (see details below from
http://www.fhsc.org.uk/genuki/REG/wry.htm).

If you ancestor was registered there, the certificates would not necessarily
be indexed at Pontefract. Some records from the Castleford office are now
at Leeds. It would be worth checking with them.

Castleford
Created 20th May 1862 (out of Pontefract district). Abolished 1st January
1868 (incorporated into Pontefract district).

Ackton, Beaghall with Kellingley, Brotherton, Burton Salmon, Carleton,

Pontefract Park, Purston Jaglin, South Milford, Sutton
Registers now divided between Pontefract and Leeds districts.

best wishes
Kathryn
