Text Box: Those facing hardship through death, illness or unemployment, often turned to their local parish for financial aid. Many of these records date from 1845, when the Poor Law was introduced, and researchers can obtain a wealth of information about individuals. At present, there is a seventy five year closure period on these records. The poor relief records held at the library have been indexed.  To search this index click here.
