Register recording deaths in the workhouse (1913-1921) and the county home and hospital (1922-1947) in one continuous volume of entries. On the closure of the workhouse in 1921, the register template was amended from 'Workhouse' to 'Offaly County Hospital and Central Home' to finally 'Offaly County Hospital and Home'. Details recorded include:
11outsized broadsheets (with many duplicates) displaying information on the dispensary districts of Clara, Killoughey, Philipstown, Tullamore and Kilbeggan. Each notice displays the name of the medical officer and his hours and office location, as well as details of the relieving officer for the district, the committee of management, and the wardens, all of whom could issue tickets for medical relief.
Five minute books of the Committees of Management of the Dispensary Districts of Clara, Kilbeggan, Killoughey, Philipstown and Tullamore, recording decisions relating to medical relief under the Medical Charities Act, 14 & 15 Vic. Cap. 68
Minute books, accounts ledgers, reports, and ancillary material relating to the creation, administration, and eventual dissolution of Tullamore Union from its establishment in 1839 to the closure of Tullamore Workhouse in August 1921. The main set of records are the minute books of the boards of guardians, comprising 112 volumes from an original set of 128 volumes. Other material is financial in nature, such as the treasurer’s account books and rates returns. No workhouse admission and discharge registers survive, but an important volume entitled Application and Report Book from 1862/1863, provides details of the relief applications for approximately 500 applicants. Other workhouse material is in the form of provisions registers and daybooks, as well as an architectural drawing of alterations to the Infirmary at the workhouse. As the Board of Guardians also oversaw the dispensary districts in the union, there is a set of minute books relating to the five dispensary districts with accompanying district notices in poster form.
