How do you find someone in a poor house

[Chris Godfrey]

Hello. I have a relative who was in a poor house but I've no idea how to go about searching for this as I've never had to before. Can anyone help put me in the right direction. Is there a search engine etc.

Thank you

Worth a read and try maybe. I haven't had anything to do with poorhouse records neither so not sure.
