Sheffield Petty Sessions would deal with this and the records are available at Sheffield archives. I’ll see if I have anything as we are just indexing the petty sessions.
I have found a record. Reference MC/2/22…..Thursday 5 January 1905.
Complainent. Allen Dearden, Board of Guardians. Ecclesall.
Defendent: Thomas Hides. Deserting family wife and child.
This implies that the wife and child where in the workhouse.
