Administrative History
Parochial Boards were set up under the Poor Law Act of 1845 to administer poor relief in each parish. From 1867-1890 the Parochial Boards were given additional responsibilities for public health: within burghs these were taken over by burgh commissioners under the various local and general Police Acts, but outwith burghs the Parochial Boards were the designated local authority. In 1894 Parochial Boards were replaced by elected Parish Councils, but the successor bodies frequently continued to use the same minute books and other records as their predecessors. The Parish Councils were abolished in 1930.
