All these folk belonged to the parish listed before their name, they did not always, as I have tried to show, live in that parish. The Board decided if the applicants because of their "difficult" circumstances were entitled to out relief. In many cases a few shillings and a few pounds of bread were offered. Others members of the family were subject to being interviewed as to why they did not support their mother or father and warrants were issued. In many cases out relief was refused because the Board deemed they were living on sufficient monies or had property they could sell first before coming to the Board. If thety hadn't sufficient and the Board refused out relief the dreaded Workhouse was offered as an alternative. Not all details of these cases are listed, in fact not one entry has been listed completely. These reports are extremely useful to find out what is happening to certain members of a community as well as to where they are living, what they are suffering from! what they do to earn a little money . Like Jesse WHITEBY shovelling dung of the road, or not listed yet, an old man in Ilkeston who played his harp in a public house to make a bit of money. They also reveal what illness a person may have been suffering from, broken legs being the cause of many seeking relief, others because of inclement weather, the early part of 1841 was a time of a very hard frost and storm. Many lead miners were unable to dig the ground being solid. I am sure over the coming months you are going to find many missing links and if not find out that little bit extra about some members of your family. Not every one left a Will, but even the rich got old and infirm and made the annals of the Board of Guardians. ----------------------------- BAKEWELL Board of Guardians 1838 September Bakewell Hannah WAIN 66 wid son Wm, she takes in lodgers Bakewell Mary WAIN'S illegitimate child 8 mother Mary WAIN works at a factory, lives with her mother Bakewell Martha WEBSTER 50 single partially infirm from lameness lives with sister earns a little washing.

That sort of thing. Bakewell in this case would naturally say, he's a good bloke, but keep him there and we'll pay you for the privilege. You know what I mean. Along with that scenario, Bakewell Board could also write to Wortley and state they have Mike Spencer here, what do we do with him, send him back?
