This is a fantastic resource which has indexed by a team of volunteers.
Not many of these records have survived for Surrey, so we are indeed very lucky that these have, and that an index has been published.
The data itself is spread over two pages and provides an assortment of information
- Number in the Relief List
- Date of Application
- Names of Applicants
- Age
- Residence
- Length of time in Union
- Calling or Occupation
- Marital Status
- Ability (i.e. whether disabled)
- If in receipt of relief
- Present cause of seeking relief
- Observations and names of relatives liable to relieve the applicant
- Weekly earnings
- Date of last visit
- Quantity and nature of relief
- Relief ordered by Guardians
- Other orders
- Observations
The alphabetical indexes are available to use and download from the Surrey Heritage website. They cover the period of 1870 - 1912 and contain some 103,000 names.
