Anyone know what "settlement" means in this context?
1895-02-16 IOM Times p.21 "Local News" [Manx Sun of 16th titled "Manx Woman's Settlement"] On Tuesday at the Douglas Police Court the Douglas Poor Relief Committee made application to have Elizabeth Corris who has been chargeable to their care for the last few days removed to Liverpool where her settlement is. The application was granted. [Manx Sun said "she crossed to Liverpool on Wednesday"].
