This website exists to help people doing personal research projects on particular areas within a locality. So long as you are using our data for only a small number of units, you are not making money out of what you are doing, and you are not systematically re-publishing our data, you do not need to request permission from us, but you do need to acknowledge us as your source with the wording:

The exact meaning of 'able-bodied', as used in the Poor Law system, is controversial, but is generally understood to exclude the aged and infirm, and 'lunatics', but to include large numbers who were temporarily ill. The reports consistently divide the able-bodied into those receiving indoor relief, those on outdoor relief and, in earlier years, those receiving both.
