i have a copy of the order posted below and i think it says...

The order made by Edmund ? and Marmaduke Drinkall Esquires two of his majesty's Justices of the Peace and Law with in and for the county of Lancaster under their hands and seals? bearing date the twenty seventh day of May last for the removal of Richard Cornah Dorothy his wife and Rowland their son aged about eleven years Rosamund their daughter aged about six yearsMargaret theur daughter aged about three years and Robert their son aged about one year poor persons out of Over Kellet into Weeton both in the said County and for settlement of them in Weeton aforesaid is by this court ratified? and confirmed no appeal being made and the service? of the said order being proved on the oath of Robert Addison






Am I right in thinking that there had been a removal order made 'May last' removing the family from Over Kellet and sending them (back? to Weeton which at this session was being confirmed (sounds like they were given a chance to appeal first)? Presumably they had come from Weeton? Also being described as 'poor persons' would this mean that they had been seeking relief from the parish or just that they had moved in and were being removed under the terms allowed by settlement law?

If it's too small to read in this form, someone might be able to tell me how to upload it differently
