Starston, Norfolk - 1804-1806 - Overseers' Payments

Starston Starston raised money at various times, to either support its poor (from the Overseers' Rate) or to pay for other parish expenses (from the Churchwardens' Rate). This rate was levied on the occupiers (who may not have owned the land) and based upon the value of the property (which was usually a rental valuation). Both occupiers and owners are found living in and outside the parish. For more information on these records see the Parish Accounts page.

This Norfolk Record Office document [with the reference PD 119/110 and microform MF1405/12] contains the Overseers' accounts (1779-1806) and from these have been extracted payments to the poor from Easter 1804 to Michaelmas 1806.
Note that only extracts have been transcribed but this includes most items which mention surnames. Many people had weekly and other handouts as per the 1807 payments (see link below) and have been excluded here.
