From the National Archives site: Registers of local poor law officials, including the master, matron, chaplain, relieving officer, medical officer, teacher, porter (and more besides in large institutions) are in MH 9 . One reason for the compilation of the registers was to prevent proven venal officials from gaining employment in other workhouses. The entries in the registers are arranged alphabetically by union, with a separate series for London. The volumes begin in 1837, but dates of initial entries for unions vary. The registers include full names of paid officials, dates of their service and reason for resignation, annotated in red. They also contain notes of various allowances granted to each official e.g. for light or rations. Further details of the appointments, application forms and references from other authorities can be found in MH 12 . |
