- WINCHELSEA POOR LAW LETTERS (1761-1841) by Malcolm Pratt, published by Sussex Record Society in 2007
PAR 511/35/1/311 16 Apr 1828 Letter from Thomas Bright, Tenterden, [Kent] to the overseers of Winchelsea. We have sent the pay for E Watson's boy £1 12s 6d For order requiring Thomas Bright the younger to maintain the illegitimate son of Elizabeth Watson, 1826 see PAR 511/34/4/13.
PAR 511/35/1/325 14 Apr 1829
Letter from Thomas Bright the elder, Tenterden, [Kent] to David Laurence, Winchelsea, assistant overseer
I received your letter and have wrote to my son to inform him the contents, though I am afraid he will not be able to meet it as I understand he has been out of employ for some time. He is allowed to pay 2s 6d per week. Young men our way if they are trade or farmer's sons do not pay more than 2s but I expect you will hear from him soon. I should like it settled by paying a certain sum down at once. I think if it is not settled that way he is likely to leave this country as he has no work.
For bastardy examination of Elizabeth Watson, 1822 see AMS 2330 folio 9
