Thanks Peter, that is very helpful indeed - I visited that website of the
chronological list of Acts and was quite astounded at the number and
variety - Parliament was obviously a busy place at that time. As you say
there were many concerning roads and canals etc etc, but the Poor Law is
probably a much more likely section. The only use I have had for the Poor
Law unions have been in tracing the family history and the use of censuses
etc which mention the poor law unions etc.
I appreciate the response, thanks again
Eunice
