Thanks Tom...it crossed my mind as another branch of the family, only slightly connected were all Ag lab and they all were in and around Hillmorton/Rugby
Sometimes I wish the family name was Crinklebottom or something else equally rare!

Hi Colin, thank you I have found others too I'm interested in finding out possibly why he finished up in Hillmorton. This is the only line that fits all my other criteria.

I'm wondering if anyone can give me inspiration, John Watts b1713 in Yardley Hastings (Northants)married Mary Atkins b1713 In Hillmorton,Rugby(warks) on the parish register it says he was from Long Buckby (Northants) In the absence of any baptisms anywhere that fit I'm thinking that John must have moved around for employment but I have absolutely no idea in what trade to start looking, shoes, textiles run favourably in the family. I know it's a long shot but.......................?

On the census' 1881 and after they all declare Bohemia, or Austria,  British subject that's why I'm trying to find the records. I'm also trying to locate a copy of the book Immigration and Aliens that BerlinBob has mentioned previously.

Hi  GrahamSimons! my gggrandmother was only a small child when the family landed, I don't know how the system worked back then. Their name was Fochnrich and changed to Fendrick, I assume that was after they'd arrived. The only document I have is a smallpox certificate for the child maybe proving she was safe to travel. She was a British subject by the time she married in 1879.
Thanks for your suggestion :)

My gggrandmother was born in Prague, Bohemia in 1858 and emmigrrated with her parents to London,  in 1860 ish. Thanks to Fiddlerslass last year I found the records in the Prague city archives. I'm still working on translating it all but I'm getting close. What I can't find is any record of their journey, their change of status, eg naturalisation. If I could find out where to look I'd be happy..... :)

I just want to thank you for the information especially fiddlersclass  for the path you showed me. I've been away from here for such a long time, due to family health & consequence. Hopefully I can get myself back on track, dust off my family records and pick up where I left off...
A huge thank you
Regards Libby56
