Hi Heather,

Just phone or email the Mitchell Library with the reference number that Annette has given and they will send you out a photocopy for a few pounds. They've done this for me a few times now as I have a lot of relatives who unfortunately ended up in the poorhouse.

Hello Heather,

I took a photograph of the application today but it is a really bad picture (I couldn't use my flash). The details I have given above is a transcription of page one. If you PM me with your email address I will send page 2 which just gives details of payments through the years.

If you want a photocopy then you can follow Caroline's advice.

Kind regards,
Annette M
