GUARDIANS' MINUTES
Work has not yet started on this dataset
The minutes are detailed and extensive and, until 1862 when the he was arrested on charges of embezzlement, all in the hand of one clerk. Usefully, the clerk has annotated the minutes so that it is clear which are administrative and which refer to applications for relief and other pauper matters, all of which are recorded separately.
From 1862 there is no mention of individual cases of relief – and no mention of where they might be recorded (though there is a lot of similar information for out-parishioner relief cases in the letter books). But the new clerk did minute what might be termed ‘out of the ordinary’ cases relating to individual paupers.
