Winchelsea Poor Law Letters. Letter from Thomas Relfe for Mrs Collins, Hove to the overseers of Winchelsea.

 24 Jan 1827 - I am requested by Mrs Collins of the parish of Hove to inform you that she has got Eliza Oyler's child to keep and as she [Eliza Oyler] is gone to London Mrs Collins will thank you to send her the money that is due. If the money is not remitted the child must be sent home. It would be much more convenient if you would empower some person at Hastings to pay the money.  For settlement examination of Eliza Oyler, 1824 see AMS 2330 folio 35; for maintenance order for her illegitimate son.

 9 May 1827 - Letter from Sarah Collins, Hooe to the overseers of Winchelsea.I send this to inform you that I have heard from Eliza Oyler and she wishes me to send the boy I have of hers to her. If you will be so good as to advance two months pay to me besides the two months due, I will get him clothed up and take him to his mother in London and I think by what she writes to me the boy will be removed [from] expense to you.
