If someone was receiving some sort of financial assistance during the 1930s what would it have been?
I have looked in the wiki and can only find that "Further Poor relief was administered in the Parish until the 1870s, after which time the focus of relief was firmly Workhouse based. The Workhouse system continued right up to the formation of the Welfare State in 1948." Would he have had to apply to the local workhouse for assistance? We are talking Lincoln, England here.
Thanks
