Hi

I would think you are right in your suggestion that work made them make the move, my family moved from Leicestershire to Middlesbrough for work in the Iron works,  Grin

Good luck

Hi Jane
   
That Proberbly is the reason, so far I havent come up with any other family member in the area, so Industry must be the answer.

Ainsley,

It could be any one or more of a pile of reasons, including work reasons, depending on his trade etc.

Some places in Northberland/Durham in C19th were like little United Nations, because of the attractions of plentiful jobs, in Coal, Shipbuilding, Railways, Chemical Manufacture, etc.


I moved from Newcastle to Birmingham in 1966. I did not pick Birmingham, I was sent there ( But enjoyed my 5 yrs there)

Hi

My 2xGreat Granddad (GRANT) moved from Birmingham to Newcastle around the same time, but the census shows when he was in Newcastle he was a Police Constable.
