Paddington Record Registers, 1894-1945

Description

Unique IDAS-0578DateBetween 1st January 1894 and 1st January 1945Date qualifiercircaFormatVolume - Leather BoundDescriptionThis series contains registers of all incoming correspondence to the Council. Volumes 1 to 3 record: the progressive letter number (assigned to each piece of correspondence), what sort of papers they were (letters, petitions, circulars, agreements, minutes), date registered, from whom, residence of writer, date of letter, nature of communication, to whom and when they were referred, when they were answered, and an observations column (date of destruction of letter, what committee it was referred to etc.).

Volumes 4 to 6 contain the same information except that they refer to the subject matter of the letter rather than the nature of the communication. They also do not record to whom and when the letter was referred.

Volumes 7 and 8 reflect a change in the record keeping of the Council. They refer to subject files kept by the Council on things such as water supply, Town Hall, health, and roads. The details they record are progressive letter number, file (Town Hall, water supply etc.), date registered, from whom, address of correspondent, and a remarks column. From letter number 7603 in Volume 7 it appears that files were given numbers.

Volume 9 differs slightly from Volumes 7 and 8 in that the information recorded is: letter number, date, name, subject, file number, and name of officer dealing with the matter.
