Newspapers [27th October 1931] reported his body being found on

By means of clothing which partially covered a skeleton found in a

of Frank Fielding, baker and bread hawker, aged about 56, of
20 Range Bank, Halifax, who had been missing for two years.
On 4th November 1929, he paid a visit to some relatives at Hebden
Bridge, and, late the same afternoon, he was seen passing through
Pecket Well, on the fringe of the moor.
He was not seen again, and a search of the district proved futile.
The remains were found by a farmer who went on to the swampy moor to
open a land drain.
It is presumed that Fielding, in taking a short cut across the
moor, stumbled into the drain and was drowned or died from exposure
