Poor Law Unions of England, Wales and Northern Ireland: A really useful listing of the places in each union

After the New Poor Law Act of 1834, there were union workhouses all over the country – but to which one did that place you have found belong? This new book has all the answers to what is where, whether the place is in England, Wales or Northern Ireland (new for this edition), and includes…
 Alphabetical list of all unions plus their county designation
 County-by-county lists showing every place within each union
 Incorporations and Gilbert Unions which continued after 1834
 A completely revised Wales section
 Northern Ireland unions now covered, too.

A brief history of the poor law unions is included as is a section on how to locate the relevant records. There is also a handy list of Chapman codes used to identify counties throughout the book.

This book will also help to identify places in civil registration districts which, on formation in 1837 initially used the poor law geographical jurisdictions.

This improved and extended new edition will be hugely useful to all researchers.
