Victoria Genealogical Society Workshop - Records of the Poor presented by Heather Shave. The Poor are Always with us � And They did Leave Records! Were your ancestors poor? Or did they work with the poor? There is a good chance that some of your ancestors will appear in the records of the poor as about 30% of the English population was considered to be poor at any one time � and there are often more records of the poor than those who were better-off. What are these records and what can they tell us? What are the differences between the records of the poor of England, Scotland, and Ireland? How can these records be accessed? Learn about Removal orders, Overseers accounts, Pauper apprentices, Parochial Boards, workhouses and many others.
