I have enjoyed browsing the Heritage pages. Can anhyone give the definition of "in-door poor" and "out-door poor", used to describe some people on the lists. Barbara Jones Researching TIMMS, HARRIS.

If I remember correctly, in-door meant in the workhouse, & out-door meant outside it, i.e. "out-door poor" were people who received money or good while remaining in their own homes, rather than being housed in the workhouse.

Hi Barbara, S'easy! "In-door poor" are paupers living in the Workhouse. "Out-door poor" are paupers supported with payments but living in their own homes.

Absolutely right of course Howard. I have some of those in-door poor in my Somerset lot. Very clean and proud all the same, apparently.
