Unfortunately I don't have the Poor Relief Applications or Census Indexes available to publish here, however a friend and fellow genealogist, Des Garrity has been plodding away for years and has now completed indexing all of Lanarkshire 1851 census, excluding Glasgow, and the 1861 census for both Glasgow and Lanarkshire. He has also indexed all the Glasgow Poor Relief Applications held in the Mitchell Library. Information on the availability and pricing of these indexes on microfiche can be found at his own web site here.
The Poor Relief Applications can in most cases, but not all, be a veritable treasure trove of information, giving a real insight to life and living conditions of those who had to apply. Further information regarding these records can be obtained from Des here.
