What was Parish Poor (General)

by alison2 , Saturday, April 12, 2008, 13:05 (6078 days ago)

When my GGrandfather was killed in 1909, he left my GGrandmother with several young children to raise. I have been told that she had to go and plead her case to get Parish Poor money in St Briavels to help them survive. Does anyone know anything about this and whether there were any records kept?

Any help would be much appreciated.
