Do you know where/ if the poor records exist prior to 1834?

I'm specifically interested in Settlement records around 1805 . I understand that a newcomer to the area would need to show these to the parish to prove his origins and that his 'home parish' would have responsibility for him if he was unable to support himself.

My RHODES ancestor came from Nottinghamshire around this time and settlement records could provide invaluable evidence of his birth/home parish.

Any hints on how/ where to search for this appreciated.
