Crossed through and unsigned Settlement examination of William Pell: I am about 19 years of age. I have done no act to my knowledge to gain a settlement in my own right. I am the person referred to in the certificate of chargeability produced by Mr Samuel Wing. I remember when I was about seven years of age and residing with my grandfather in Wilden going to Winwick to the overseers there and applying to them for relief because they had stopped the allowance before made for me but they refused to relieve me saying that I was old enough to workand if I wanted relief must go home to Winwick.

When my said grandson was about 33 weeks of age he came to live with my husband and myself at Wilden in this County. My husband applied to the overseers of Winwick for relief and they relieved my said grandson with one shilling and sixpence per week for the space of two years during which time he resided with my husband and myself at Wilden. His father maintained him until he was 5 years of age and then ran away. It was after that that the 18 opence a week was allowed by the parish officers of WInwick.
