Folio.31-32 Elizabeth Attack of St Mary, Bedford, widow.

26 May 1818

From: 1818 To: 1818

Well knows Sarah Yates and that her husband resided many years and kept a drapers shop at Gamlingay and that he was born there and his father resided there before him. This Examinant knows that her brother Ulysses Paine of Gamlingay when overseer of the poor of that parish relieved John Yates as a person belonging to that parish with the weekly relief of three shillings and sixpence and paid such allowance a considerable length of time. It afterwards was discontinued in consequence of William Yates his son undertaking to provide for him. The payment was about four or five years ago. She has since at the request of Mrs Yates applied to her brother for parochial assistance for her and that he afterwards told her the parish refused it not from any doubt john Yates did formerly belong to Gamlingay but from a doubt whether he had not gained a subsequent settlement since he has lived out of the parish and she believes it is not known at Gamlingay whether the said John Yates was living or dead.
