Roy I checked back to my email to you about this yesterday and see that I should have anticipated your later question posed below. Post-1836 Narberth Union Poor Law parish records, where extant, will be at the Pembrokeshire Record Office (PRO). I have looked at the records for Begelly (an adjoining parish to the south of Narberth). These do contain interesting material. However, the survival rate for parish poor law files in Pembrokeshire is low. Whether anything has survived for Narberth the PRO will advise. Apologies for the confusion.

Presumably (and I could be wrong here) the workhouse records would only have dealt with people in workhouses and not those receiving outdoor relief. Roy
