Title: Poorhouse in Perth Records
Post by: shirleyarule on Wednesday 08 December 10 23:09 GMT (UK)

I am researching my 3 great grandfather and he died at the Poorhouse in Perth on New Years Eve in 1905.  Are there any personal records that I would be able to locate with the Poorhouse from that time period?  I am not sure what kind of records they would have as well as I am searching burial records.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Shirleyarule

If you contact the Archives at the A K Bell library they may be in a position to help you as the records are held in Perth

Thank you so much for the help.  No, I had no idea where to turn next, so this is wonderful.
Thank you once again and wish me luck.
