Includes loose interment certificates for some individuals.
Includes a small number of entries for military war casualties (in green ink) and registered aliens (in red ink).
From 1869 Masters of workhouses were required to record the religious affiliation of inmates in Creed Registers so that appropriate measures could be taken in the event of illness or death.
Details recorded in each register vary over time but usually include: name; date of admission; religious creed; name of informant; and in some cases date of discharge or death. Registers from 1906 record occupation and address of relation or friend. Registers from 1908 include 'place admitted from' or 'where slept last night' in each entry.
At the outbreak of war in 1939 the infirmary of the old workhouse was equipped to become an Emergency Medical Services Hospital. The infirmary received 77 non-civilian patients in 1939, 623 in 1940 and 434 in 1941. Creed Registers from 1939-1941 therefore record admissions details of military war casualties (see refs PLU/2/3/17-19)
From 1942 emergency medical patients were treated at the new hospital which had opened next door to the infirmary.
Entries are either listed in rough alphabetical order or indexed.
Comprises accounts, inventories, registers of artices required by the Master; and register of visitors.
Comprises records relating to the administration of relief granted to the poor in their own home (i.e. outside the Workhouse, hence the term 'outdoor relief').
Includes application and report books, weekly outdoor relief lists, relief order books, relief granted on loan, relieving officers' receipt and expenditure books, relief in kind books and records relating to medical relief.
Comprises records relating to the collection of relief from liable individuals.
The York Poor Law Union (and later the Public Assistance Committee) attempted to recover money spent on relief that had been granted to the poor. They ordered individuals - usually liable relatives - to contribute towards the cost of maintaining those in receipt of poor relief. The collection of relief was administered by the Collecting Committee.
Includes order books, notices to contribute, payment ledgers, receipt and payment books, registers of insurance benefits and adjourned cases, claim made to the Ministry of Health, and Collectors' accounts and correspondence.
See also PLU/13/1 for legal cases relating to recovery of relief.
Comprises records relating to the general administration of the York Poor Law Union and Public Assistance Committee.
Includes correspondence; statistics and returns; staffing records; government orders; and publications and other printed material.
Comprises financial records relating to the general administration of the York Poor Law Union and Public Assistance Committee.
Includes financial statements; general ledgers; parochial ledgers; treasurers' ledgers; treasurers' receipt and payment books; invoices; petty cash books; receipts; and other account books.
For financial records relating specifically to outdoor relief see PLU/3/5
For financial records relating specifically to the collection of relief see PLU/5/10
