Records that I would like to know more about
I would like to know if these records exist in Wales before the poor act of England of 1834. I would like to know what web sites or resources would have any info on these records. 1. Settlement Certificates,2. Settlement examinations, 3.Removal orders,4. Rate Books,5. Bastardy maintenance Orders, 6. Bastardy bond, 7. Bastardy examinations, 8. Indemnification order, 9.Apprenticeship Indentured,10. Overseers Accounts, 11. Vestry minutes, 12. Church Warden Accounts. According to the family search record wiki these records where kept for the management of the poor in the individual Parishes in England from 1600-1800. This was mandatory by English Law at that time. The last document that I have is from a David Jno David of his Christening in 1799. I know his family migrated from one county to another about 1821 for his marriage and his occupation.

The answer for your question depends a lot on where the ancestor lived. Can you give us the parish names where the family lived?
