Re: Paisley Poor Law Records

Hi goldie61,
Yes, I do have the actual pages but they're for each of the children. They were sent to live with an uncle and the claim was for 2/6 a week and some school books. The mother did live in Glasgow then Paisley but never in Perth. It was on the page for the children that I found the information that their father had died and mother was sent to State Home, Perth for three years for drunkenness. I don't understand why she was sent to Perth, so far away. I think she must have been sent there from where she lived in Paisley, I imagine a court of law would have sent her.? This was in 1908. Is there any way to see court records?
I have further records from Paisley Poor records that she was back in Paisley in 1912. She remarried in 1916. and continued to live in Paisley and Glasgow till her death in 1932. Thank you for your help. weeblether
