Migration Patterns In Early Nineteenth Century
A short but interesting read for anyone interested in early calico workers of Accrington. A few details on work trends and migration.

Re: Migration Patterns In Early Nineteenth Century
Thanks for the link - hadn't seen that. North East on my dads side, and Manchester / West Midlands on my mums. I knew my dad's father came down from the North East with many others for colliery work at Huncoat. I guess my mum's lot moved up for the textiles trade at some point.
I had thought about getting one of those DNA traces done a while back, but £300 for very vague information seemed a bit steep. Anyone had one done? |
