A record of death book, 1842-99, supplements other registers of inmates (BG/108/KA). Finally, a few forms relating to the Contagious Diseases (Animals) Act, 1904, are also present (BG/108/M).
The collection is of use to those studying the administrative and social history of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and to students of local and family history. The development of the poor law system, and the local experience of the Great Famine of 1845-49, are subjects of particular interest.
Arrangement The collection is arranged into 21 separate series, under 10 different headings (see table of contents). This arrangement is based on that devised for Poor Law records nationally by Sean McMenamin of the Public Record Office of Northern Ireland (see Appendix 2 to McMenamin’s article in Irish Archives Bulletin Vol 1, No 2, October 1971). Please note that gaps occur in many series.
