 Thank you Sancti. What a treasure trove! I live in New Zealand and cannot visit the Mitchell Library in person. Do you know if they undertake research on family history or if  any of the Poor Law material is accessible online?

Poor Records are not available online but they may carry out a search for a fee as you cannot visit yourself

 Thanks. I have just sent an email to the Mitchell  in the hope they can do some research for me.  Here's hoping !
