    RESEARCH GUIDE Poor Law Records in London and Middlesex LMA Research Guide 4: Guide to Poor Law records for London and Middlesex including records held at LMA and other institutions. CONTENTS Introduction Where to find Poor Law Records The Old Poor Law: Parish Records The London Workhouse (CLA/075) London Parishes exempted from the 1834 Poor Law Amendment Act The New Poor Law 1834-1930: Boards of Guardians Workhouses Workhouse Infirmaries and Pauper Lunatic Asylums Out Relief Children and Schools Staff Records available online Reading List Introduction Many people in the past have been forced by old age, illness, disability, unemployment, bereavement, or other misfortune to seek assistance from the Poor Law authorities. This assistance might have taken the form of out relief, that is money or food or medical assistance provided while they continued to live in their own homes, or they might have been admitted to the workhouse or treated for illness in the workhouse infirmary or county lunatic asylum. Children may have been brought up and educated in the Poor Law schools and when old enough, apprenticed or placed in service or joined the merchant navy or armed forces. When anyone applied for poor relief, they would probably have undergone a settlement examination to determine which parish was legally responsible for relieving them. The settlement examination would have taken the form of questioning about their life history, including where they were born, whether they had served an apprenticeship or been in service for a year, where they had lived and for how long and what rent they had paid, where their children were born, and even their parents' life histories, as any of these might determine their place of legal settlement or that of their children.

  • 1749 St George Hanover Square Per Cent of Total Westminster Per Cent Of
    © University of London, 2020 Economic Life Employment The Westminster poll books contained the name, address and occupation of voters and thus offer a partial view of occupations in the parish, limited to the adult, male ratepayers who chose to cast their ballot. Despite the obvious limitations, this is the best occupational data available for the early period, gives some understanding of the geography of employment, and allows some comparison between the parish and the rest of Westminster. Here, the poll books from elections in 1749 and 1818 have been analysed. 1749 St George Hanover per cent of per cent of Square total Westminster total Agriculture 56 4 141 1 Building 176 12 884 9 Dealing 407 28 2975 32 Domestic Service 36 2 163 2 Industrial service 21 1 123 1 Manufacturing 270 19 3015 32 Public service/ Professional 61 4 388 4 Rentiers 387 27 1541 16 Transport 44 3 207 2 Total 1458 9437 The migration of fashionable society into the new development in Mayfair has already been noted, with nearly a quarter of the House of Lords living on the Grosvenor estate by 1751. Titled residents were concentrated in the middle belt of the estate, particularly Grosvenor Square, Brook Street, Upper Brook Street, Grosvenor Street and Upper Grosvenor Street in the early years.1 This pattern is reflected in the poll books, with a much higher percentage of voters classed as rentiers than the Westminster average. However, the rentier category is largely made up of gentlemen and esquires, with some knights and only 13 titled residents. As peers were not allowed to vote, they join female 1 'The Social Character of the Estate: Introduction', in Survey of London: Volume 39, the Grosvenor Estate in Mayfair, Part 1 (General History), ed.
