Aberdeen City Parish Council: Minute Books, Indexes and List of Poor Aberdeen City Parish Council minutes, 1895 - 1930 (CA/1/11/1-12), index to minutes, 1895 - 1930 (CA/1/16/13-14) and list of poor in receipt of relief on the 15th May 1922 (CA/1/16/15). The minutes include weekly lists of poor placed on the Outdoor Roll (i.e. those receiving payments rather than those placed in the Poorhouse) by the Supply/Relief Committee. These lists record the individual's name, age, residence, state, dependants and weekly allowance. No equivalent details are recorded for those placed in the poorhouses. The Parish Council's West and East Poorhouse Committees' minutes record deaths taking place in the poorhouses (individual's name, age, settlement, cause of death) up until they are replaced by the Poorhouses committee in May 1897. The minutes also tend to include more information about individual cases for orphans/children or "lunatics"/"mental patients", which were dealt with by a special committee. These are generally not included in the indexes at the start of the volume, so it is a case of trawling through the minutes for that committee. Details of unemployment cases also seem to be recorded from late 1921 but these do not give individual names, just a reference number and a set of initials. From the adoption of old age pensions in 1909, there are entries for the Inspector's "Recoveries" relating to these various payments for people's care: old age pensions, army pensions, navy pensions and other sources. These list the individual's name and, in some instances, the institution they are residing in (this isn't specified for Old Age pensions and in these cases it isn't clear if the individuals are receiving indoor or outdoor relief). All the cases aside those for old age pensions are listed by the individual's name in the indexes for the volume (under the heading Advances Recovered). See St Nicholas Parochial Board minutes 1884 - 1895 for minutes of predecessor body (CA/1/15). Architect's plans for Parish Council offices, Union Terrace, Aberdeen are listed under the reference DD1920/41.
