"Forced" Migration from Suffolk
« on: Monday 20 March 06 17:09 UTC (UK) »
My ancestors JAMES SALMON and MARIA (nee MANN)lived in EDWARDSTONE, Suffolk until c1835. At that time they had 6 children.  They are next to be found in Yorkshire working in the COTTON trade. James was an AG LAB and I'm wondering if the family were in the same dire straights as Jeremy Paxton's (Who do you think you are) ancestors who were moved to the NORTH of England.
Has anyone else got ancestors who were in a similar position or can anyone help me find out more about this please?

Hi Sand,

I also had ancestors from Norfolk who left the villages and went "up north" to work in the factories.
If you just google - Industrial Revolution UK - there is so much information and also educates us to what a hard time they had - the whole family would work - even children from the age of five.

There were advertisements promising regular work in the new factories in the East Anglian Daily Times and other Suffolk (and Norfolk) newspapers. Very tempting when you were only being paid for the time you worked, and in bad weather that might not be very often.

As you mentioned, Clive Paine at the SRO outlined on Jeremy Paxman's prog that many out of work Ag Labs went north for work - some to Birmingham to the new factories, some to Lancashire to the cotton mills, some to Durham for the mines etc etc
