Introduction/ Scope and Contents

Note:   The full data table (more than fifty pages if printed out) contains all of the data from the poor register and also serves as an index, sorted by name of the person assisted and then by the dates that person was aided.  The following four indexes, following, refer to that name, which can then be looked up in the name index to see the full information given about that individual.  The index that is sorted by date aided provides the means for referring back to the Poor Register ledger itself, because the ledgers in that entry are by date of assistance.
