The above entry from 1862 concerns one Jane Pryce, just two
years old, and reads:
"The clerk was directed to write to the Poor Law Board
to enquire whether they would sanction the allowance of 1/- weekly
for the maintenance of the infant child out of the workhouse,
its mother having absconded, considering the trouble to which
the Matron might be subjected in the event of there being no
inmate capable of taking proper care of the child."
