Legal settlement was the overlying principle of poor relief.
If you could not satisfy certain requirements you could move into a new parish using a settlement certificate providing your home parish would issue one.
This was virtually a form of indemnity issued by your home parish stating that you and your family and future issue belonged to them and they would take you all back at their expense if you became chargeable to the parish.
Because of the expense of removal it would be unlikely your home parish would issue a certificate for a parish a large distance away.
A settlement certificate was only valid if it bore the seals of the overseers of both parishes and that of the local Justices and was not transferable.
