Poor Law dates.....

Poor Law dates on The Mitchell
Glasgow, 1851-1948
Barony, 1861-1898 (when it united with Glasgow)
Would it have united at the end of the year 1898 ? and are these records relatively easy to search - having never done it myself .

Thanks

Hello Tracey,

Although the above dates are given not all the books survived and there is a closure of 75 years on the records.

The search criteria are - Surname + maiden if a married female, first name, approximate year of and place of birth.
It's best to have an open mind when searching. The more unusual the name the easier they will be to find in the index.

Hope this helps,
Annette M

I wasnt hinting just going to add it to the list for my "auntie" honest but didnt want to make it difficult for her .
Quite simple really .

Helen Casey miss Fox born England and depending on which cert to believe birth year c 1875. In 1898 she is at East Rose Street Calton Glasgow.

If this is her on 1901 census she is head 26 Crownpoint Rd Barony Glasgow. Also if a census i found for her husband Francis Casey is correct he is in Prison which could explain the long gap between childrens births. My thought is IF this is him in prison she may have had to apply for poor relief ?

Many thanks

Pension of 30/- per quarter from N.G. Artillery- This she stoutly denied until I practically had to tell her I knew it.

This woman has not shown herself to be straightforward and states she was told to mislead us with info.

There was a list of payment details (including a little drunken episode)till.............

It should copy well if you want the actual record.

I'd be interested to know what John Casey did for a living. It looked like Showmaker to me.

Regards,

Oh my........... Annette !!

Your a star and found another baby !!! but she must have died. John was a plain old shoemaker athough possibly a good showman in drunker moments.

Sorry to ask more but have you any idea what this means

HUGE THANKS Annette

[Tracey]

I was so excited i thought Doris was another found baby then realising it is my Grandmother ! not known as Doris but Dorothy or Dora !

Im really pleased his place of birth has been confirmed and mention of two brothers in Paisley. Now hopefully i can move on.

Thanks again

Tracey
