Relief order books were kept by the Clerk of the Flaxton Out-Relief Union.
The book records orders for out-relief granted by the Guardians in response to applications put forward by the Relieving Officer.

Details entered into the books may include: name of applicant, 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.
