Abstract
IN accordance with a request made by the Council of the Yorkshire Geological and Polytechnic Society, I am compiling a history of the past fifty years' work of the Society, and including in it biographical notices of some of its principal members. Amongst the latter was the Rev. W. Thorp, who for several years held the office of Honorary Secretary, and took great interest in the Society. He was at one time vicar of Womersley, and afterwards removed to Misson. Unfortunately I can obtain no records of his life. Can any of your readers assist me? Any information will be gratefully received and duly acknowledged. I believe Mr. Thorp died about 1857.
