Shirley and Sylvia, I will certainly research this. Lots of my family were probably affected. |

Many of my dad's ancestors moved TO Oldham from a small village in Buckingham from about 1860 through the 1870s and 1880s to work in the cotton mills! |

Well Shirley and Sue, I think this is a far more interesting aspect of family history than just finding names and dates. |

A good idea, Shirley. It gives us ideas on why families migrate from their areas, diseases and wars. So many of my OH's family moved from rural areas to London obviously for work. Not only one member but quite often followed by siblings and eventually elderly parents. A few of my ancestors died at an early age due to TB and also infant mortality was rife. |
