    2. george pickering
    3. Dear All, When removing a pauper family from one Union to another who would bear the cost? How would they be conveyed, by train or carriage? I have a family (widowed mother and two children) who in 1902 are residing in the Poplar Union Workhouse but have no legal right of Settlement in the Poplar Union or any parish therein. Because her deceased husband was born in Cheltenham Parish in the Cheltenham Union the Guardians of the Poplar Union are saying that the family is proper to the Cheltenham Union. Consequently the Cheltenham Union are ordered to deal with the receiving and conveying of the family. Regards George Rainham, Kent.
