I have the CD with mid kent poor law records and there are some on there that may relate to my lot. They give the reference numbers for the documents. My question is can they be viewed on line or ordered from somewhere?

Sussex IS brilliant, but I think it is just an index. There ought to be more info on some of the entries.
For anyone interested, try to get hold of "On the Parish" by Jane Hales. She is just looking at Holt in Norfolk, but the settlement examinations cover people from all over the place. Absolutely fascinating, but some very sad stories.Phoenix - with charred feathers
