  • Scope and Content
    I am forty years of age or thereabouts. I was married on the 30th September1822 at the parish church of Sharnbrook to my present huisband James Robinson then of the parish of St Paul, Bedford. I was married by my then name of Elizabeth Dayton. I have only one child by my husband viz a boy William John Thomas aged seven years and a half or thereabouts who was born in the parish of St Cuthbert, Bedford and christened at St Peters Church.. He is now chargeable to the parish of St Cuthbert and maintained in the Bedford House of Industry. I am now a prisoner in Bedford Gaol. I do not know where my husband is.It is nearly nine months since I have seen him. He was then in London. He belongs to the parish of Olney in the County of Buckingham as I have been informed and believe to be true, having gained a settlement there by his father Joseph Robinson, a settled inhabitant of that parish and having done no act to gain a settlement in his own right. I have myself received relief from the parish officers of Olney whilst living at Bedford. I have received relief from them several times. The first time was nine years ago this winter when I had been very ill. My husband was not living with me then. I only received three shillings upon that occasions. I received relief from them three or four times in the course of the last year. I have myself been to Olney for relief. I never lived there. I always received the relief in person except once and then it was sent to me through Mr Chapman, the governor of the Bedford House of Industry. The parish officers of Olney knew I was living in Bedford when they relieved me. My son has done no act to gain a settlement in his own right.
