connected names -spouses of my McBurnie = Whitehouse, Hanna, Gibson, Partington
The last ive found of them is the 1901 census. I understand the ship yards shut down in early 1900's so they,ve moved someplace else. I know they dident imigrate to canada. Anyone have any idea were they might have gone for work at that time. Im looking for living relitives

Thanks for the info Andrew. Its quit possible they went to either of those places but they were craft tradesman. I would think they would try to stick to there craft. My ancesters seem to always be around ships , as Masters, cabinet makes , fitters carpenters ect ect . What other Places were Big with Ship Building at that time.

The next nearest area would probably be Liverpool and Birkenhead. Rail connections would not be difficult. Next most likely would be Teesside (Middlesbrough) Tyneside (Newcastle/Gateshead), but the journey there would be a bit more complicated. I think that smaller yards such as Whitehaven were in decline before then.
Expert woodworkers might find employment at Waring and Gillows of Lancaster - very sought-after furniture.
Metalworkers could probably find employment in the many foundries of any town in the north of England. Loads of mill machinery to build and maintain. Plenty of work for a good riveter too with all those boilers in use.
