Lead Miners migration to Wales c1700
« on: Tuesday 06 May 08 11:54 BST (UK) »
Hi

I understand many Derbyshire families migrated to North Wales around 1700, in order to work in the lead mines there.  Carringtons, Hoosons, Nuttalls, Oldfields, Staleys were among them.  Many came from Youlgreave, Winster and Bakewell areas.  Is anyone else researching families who were part of the exodus?   I would like to compare notes and share research.

Thanks
Heather
