Migration Workers 1860's from Norfolk to Yorkshire
« on: Saturday 16 August 08 23:52 BST (UK) »
Hi
Is there any documentation of Migrant Workers, in particular Ag Labs, from Norfolk to Yorkshire.  Huh I have connectons with both areas, one I live E. Yorkshire, my GG Grandfather Robert Hall came to Holme on Spalding Moor sometime between 1861 and 1868 from Reepham, Aylsham, Norfolk. He married Ellen St Paul of HOSM and they lived their lives out in HOSM.
How did MW's find the money to travel if not in work or indeed very lttle money??
Did the Poor Law Unions help to relocate the jobless??
Where did they live in the new area??
Was there Organisations like the church that helped folk move to areas for work, be given accommodation and find work???
It fascinates me how folk moved around finding work.
Norfolk was a vast area of Ag Labs and when mechanisation came into being, there was revolts, folk lost their jobs due to new methods of machinery, when it was a case of living hand to mouth normally,   Embarrassed   life just got harder so folk had to move on for work.
There is documentation to say that wages in Yorkshire were far better than in Norfolk, also many Norfolk men and families travelled to Bedlington, Northumberland to work in the mines.
Can anyone help please.
