Using County Archives: Old Poor Law Records with West Sussex Record Office

Archivists from the West Sussex Record Office will help you to get the most from collections of ‘Old’ Poor Law Records, which are commonly found in county archives and record offices across the country. They can be a mine of genealogical information. You will learn how to access and examine the key records. Learn pointers on what to do if you don’t know the parish in which your ancestor lived and what to do if the records you need have not survived. Finally, learn how to use catalogues and finding aids to assist with delving into the records.
