Paisley Poor Law Records

[Keckers]

Just been exploring these extensive records, once you find who you are looking for, you can request a digital copy, the staff are very welcoming. Hope this link is allowed.... follow it then click on ‘Open index’ then scan through over 4000 pages.   https://libcat.renfrewshire.gov.uk/iguana/www.main.cls?surl=PoorLaw

Apologies if this has already been posted earlier.

I'm from Paisley (tho don't live there now) but I can recommend this. Have found out so much from the poor books in Paisley library (Always go in on trips home). the information is fantastic and have found where in Ireland many people have come from via these records

Keckers, many thanks for posting this link - I found the reference for one of my Cooks. :-) 
Do you have any idea of how much they charge for a copy of an entry?

Keckers,

Many Many Thanks.  I have found so many of my relatives that I started taking photos of the pages.  There were too many to take notes.  This is probably going to cost me a small fortune, but It'll be worth every penny.   

Again, Thank You.

Christine.

Phone them up, very helpful, each digital copy costs £2.90, the ones I got were all high quality.

It really is a fantastic resource, the staff are so helpful too, £2.90 for each digital copy of the entry, mine were super high quality. Good luck!

Thanks Keckers, I didn't phone (I'm in Australia!) but emailed and they were super helpful. The one entry I needed broke down two brick walls :-)

Yes they really were, they also traced a newspaper article I was searching for from 1934, nothing was a bother to them, they said the digital copies would take a few days but I got a quick turnaround...happy searching

I've been sitting here wondering why my great granddad was in the Poor Law records? OK he'd just got out of the army but they weren't destitute by any means? Intrigued, have ordered :-)
Thanks Keckers what a great resource, might even get me back into FH again, it's been a few years :-)
