Immediate source of acquisition

Records transferred from the records of the Boards of Guardians, 6 October 1954 (Ac 54.88).

Administrative / biographical background

A local act of parliament, passed in 1800 (39 and 40 Geo III c.35), set up a Board of Guardians to administer poor relief. The Board consisted of the resident County magistrate, the incumbent, Churchwardens and overseers, and the principal inhabitants of Hampstead. By an order of the Poor Law Commissioners of 7 January 1837, the district was incorporated into Edmonton Union for purposes of poor relief on 3 February 1837. After numerous protests, Hampstead again became independent, being made a separate Union in 1848.
