Upto now everyone is English or to be more precise everyone (both mine & my husbands side) seems to originate in Norfolk or Suffolk, so can anyone tell me why East Yorkshire became so popular.
Love the choice of poll options but SCOLTLAND!

Hi Rootschatters,
I have always been told that I was "Brummie" through and through but I have learned that we have ancestors in Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire, Northamptonshire and Lancashire. The one common theme that seems to run through my Mom's family is brewers, maltsters and publicans! I'm having a great deal of fun tracking down pubs!

I always believed all my people to be from Lancashire but only my grandmother and her siblings were born there.
I have chased the rest of them through Yorkshire, Lincolnshire, Rutland, Northamptonshire, Cambridgeshire, Wiltshire and Gloucestershire.
Just to confuse matters the Lancashire family moved to Northern Ireland around 1909 - it's unbelievable how they travelled.
My parents topped the lot by sailing for Australia -
What a lot of vagabonds we are......

Apart from Jersey mine are all English. I have Norfolk, Suffolk, Lancashire, Surrey, Kent, Sussex and Hampshire so far. You may have guessed they all ended up in East London.

I forgot about my Patrick O'Farrell from Cork. I've given up hope of finding anything about him.

Hi
My lot were not very adventurous
Silk & Cotton Mills of Cheshire and Lancashire for some 100 years, then on to the Silk Mills in Staffs, Derby and Notts till the 1900's.
Boring Lot
Although one did get as far as Dartmoor Prison where he died awaiting transportation - and is buried in Princetown.
So - it could have been exciting !!

Hi Jen,
It's so frustrating when you can't find anything, but I can't give it up, one day as more and more goes on the net something may just turn up, so don't give up hope on finding out about your "Sheehan" ancestors.
I've just been looking back over the material I have collected since searching Waterford there was a Patrick Sheehan (Labourer) living at 22 Blakes's Lane (off Barrack St) Waterford City 1909/10. I don't know if he is one of yours but every little bit of info could be important. I posted a message on the Waterford board with a link to the site where I obtained this info, I'm sure you would think it worth a look as you may find more of your family.
