Settlement (Poor Law) Records:
a guide and catalogue
Settlement records are an indispensable source, particularly for
family history research in the late 17th, 18th and 19th centuries,
enabling one to trace the movements of ancestors into and out of
the parishes where they lived. All types of people feature, not
just paupers, but also labourers, tradesmen, craftsmen, unaccompanied
children, widows etc. The two volumes and Supplement to Part 1 include
a parish by parish catalogue of all known surviving Kent settlement
records, covering all the different types. Each volume has a useful
introduction to the surviving documentation for that part of Kent,
together with information about the different types of settlement
documents and what information can be gained from each. Each volume
also includes a Select Bibliography.
