CUSTOMER ADVISORY

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS PUBLICATION IN IT'S ORIGINAL FORM COVERED THE WHOLE OF ENGLAND & WALES

THIS IS A VERY SCARCE GOVERNMENT PAPER WHICH COST US A FAIR AMOUNT OF MONEY. SO WE HAD TO CONSIDER HOW WE COULD JUSTIFY IT'S PURCHASE & AT THE SAME TIME MAKE IT VERY AFFORDABLE TO GENEALOGISTS.

WE TOOK THE DECISION TO SPLIT THE PAPER UP & SCAN IT BY COUNTY

HOWEVER IN DOING SO IT MEANT THAT SOME COUNTIES ONLY CONTAINED A SMALL AMOUNT OF PAGES AS A RESULT.

SO IN ORDER TO ADDRESS THIS & COUNTER BALANCE IT WE HAVE ADDED A BONUS PUBLICATION ONTO THE CD ENTITLED

MASTER & MATRON OF THE WORKHOUSE WHICH GIVES A TREMENDOUS ACCOUNT OF THE DUTIES THEY PERFORMED & OFFERS A TRULY REMARKABLE INSIGHT INTO WHAT LIFE WAS REALLY LIKE FOR THOSE IN THE WORKHOUSE!

IF THE MAN OR WOMAN WAS IN THE WORKHOUSE FOR A PERIOD OF MORE THAN FIVE YEARS THIS WOULD BE STATED. IN SOME CASES CERTAIN INDIVIDUALS WERE IN THERE FOR THIRTY YEARS OR MORE!

THE REPORT IS A PULL NO PUNCHES WARTS AN ALL STATEMENT ON WHY EACH PERSON HAD BEEN IN THE WORKHOUSE FOR A SUCH A PERIOD.

INSTANCES INCLUDED REASONS SUCH AS

IDIOT, BLIND, INFIRM, WEAK INTELLECT, DUMB, LOST LIMB, WITH BASTARD CHILD

AND MANY MORE !
