Relief lists kept by the Relieving Officer of the Flaxton Out-Relief Union
Index of individuals appearing in weekly outdoor relief lists for same period (see PLU/3/2/1/279 onwards)
Comprises order books of relief granted by the York Poor Law Union, and, after 1930, the Public Assistance Committee. Also includes register of individual paupers relieved by the York Out-Relief Union.
Relief order books were kept by the Clerk of the York Poor Law Union and later the Public Assistance Committee.
The books record orders for out-relief granted by the York Guardians/Public Assistance Committee in response to applications put forward by the Relieving Officer (see PLU/3/1 Application and Report books).
Details entered into the books include: name of applicant seeking relief, name of parish/relief district; quantity and description of relief; and how many weeks relief was granted.
Note that books were dated in quarterly periods. For example Mar 1910-Sep 1910 = quarter ending in March to quarter ending in September and would therefore cover the months Jan-Sep 1910.
Summary register of cases adjourned and cases referred from relief committees.
Includes blank printed application forms for Hodgson's charity.
Includes in front of book a copy of a report of Sub-committee relating to regulations and scales for out-door relief, 1933.
Copy of 'Regulations and scales of out-door relief' and hand-written notes in front of book.

This volume records only a list of numbers (probably case numbers) and a small number of names. The register appears to be a draft version or incomplete working record.
