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.

interesting, assume its by the late "Bill Turner"? the unskilled oiks came from lancs n west riding, the few highly skilled came from u.k n france. how things have changed.

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?

Yes itr was done by the late William Turner (Accrington Pals), I lent him my indexes of the 1851 census. I also created similar indexes for the 1528 Musbury Park inquest, the 1660 Tax Rolls, the 1790, and the 1828 Surveys.

Retlaw.
