John Rose D.jpgGot a death cert today and it says she is the widow of a Relieving officer ? what on earth is that?
also can anybody read the Informants Name ? thanks
A relieving officer worked for the Poor Law Union - handed out parish relief and/or arranged for admission to the workhouse.
The informant's name seems to be a couple of initials - I W or I A?? followed by an illegible surname which presumably will be that of the deceased as he was their son?
