Manchester Cathedral and Parish Church District Inspection of the Children of the Poor

Date

21 Jun 1849

Description

9 notebooks compiled by the Churchwardens for the district between Long Millgate and Shudehill recording the numbers of children attending Day School. Each notebook records the name of the street visited, the number of the house, the number of children between the ages of 3 and 10, and the number of children at school. Of those who are not at school, it is recorded whether they were ever at a school, and what school it was, and why they are not now at school. It is recorded whether the family was receiving Parochial Relief, and concludes with remarks on their religious principles. The first volume contains three copies of a printed summary of all the returns for the District (comprising a total of 917 families). Volume 3 includes a breakdown of the numbers by Religion. The date of the series is obtained from this insert.
