Individual Note:
     The Holywell Poor Law Union Record (Whitford District) G/B/134/251dated 28/2/1840 shows Edward with his wife and Children living at Glolnear Llyn Helig.Edward was recorded as having an "illness" and wasreceiving 5/- per week relief. He had apparently been ill for the alst3 weeks and was unable to do any work. Edward asked for "nourishment"and attendance relief on acvcount of his illness untill he was fit towork. He was granted 5/- per week for two weeks.

On 13th March 1842 Edward applied again to the Holywell Poor Law Unionfor relief. The record shows Edward's family to that date living at acottage in Glol rented for 52/- per annum. Edward had met with anaccident in the previous week and hurt his foot which was preventinghim from working. He was receiving 6/- per week from his Sick Club. Heapplied for a Hob of seed potatoes saying that with no relation tohelp him all his potatoes had rotted in the hoes (ground). He wasgranted a hobbet of potatoes for planting.

The Llanasa Parish Poor Rate Assessment (P/35/1/36 Entry 371) dated1838 & 1839 shows that Edward was renting a piece of land at Treloganfrom the local landlord Sir Edward Mostyn. Trelogan is adjacent toTremostyn where the 1841 Census shows Edward living. This may well bethe same piece of land that his mother Ann was using as the 1841Census shows her as a Farmer.The record shows that he rented the landfrom about 1830 to sometime after 1839. The Llanasa assessment for1830 (P/25/1/19) shows him paying 5/4d but not whether that wasannualy or not. By 1838 & 1839 he was rated at 2/2d and by 1840 was inarrears of 5/4d. It is not clear again how often the 2/2d became due.The location of the land is probably that shown on the Tithe map inthe scrapbbok for edward's mother Anne and seems to be locatedsomewhere alond the road to Newmarket from Whitford by a place calledTy Newydd.

On the 14th October 1842 Edward applied once more to the Holywell PoorLaw Union for relief. Still paying 52/- per annum rent he was noted asbeing paid 10/- per week as a Miner. His health was stated as being"able bodied". He applied for a pair of shoes for his daughter Anne inorder that she could go into Service. The shoes were "much wanted". Apair of shoes were duly ordered.

On 9th March 1849 Edward (noted as a Miner) and his family wereremoved from Dyserth to Whitford. It is assumed that as Edward wasclaiming Parish Relief that the Holywell Poor Law Union ordered thathe reside in his "home" Parish. At this time he was recorded assuffering from an unspecified illness and was receiving 2/6 from theParish of Dyserth. On 11th January 1850 the Holywell Poor Law UnionOutdoor Relief Register noted that Edward again had an "illness" andwas on medical relief of 5/- per week and succesfully applied for anadditional 1/- per week. The Holywell Poor Law Union Outdoor ReliefRegister for 27/12/1850 has an entry giving details of Edwards deathand a claim from his wife Jane for Payment of Funeral Expenses. Shewas given. 12/-.
