  • A 'Releiving Officer' ?

    Another Occupation from an 1876 Marriage Certificate. In this case its the Bride's father although deceased.
    I've no idea what he did relieve but chuckle to imagine what it could be.

    Relieving Officers
    Relieving officers were employed to receive applications for relief, and make payments when these had been approved by the Board. They also issued orders to admit people to workhouses.
