Do parochial board/parish council minutes contain information about individual paupers?

they contain a brief record of new applications brought to the board by the inspector of the poor for each parish. Typically, these contain the name of the applicant, the reason for the application (e.g. old age, illness, injury at work) and the decision of the parochial board. In some cases, there will be additional information, such as the age and residence of the individual. It is rare to find detailed information on the family of the individual claimant. However, if poor relief applications do not survive for that parish, then the minute books of the board/council may be the only record of a pauper’s application.
