Other Countries / Re: British Settlers in Argentina
« on: Friday 14 January 05 10:58 GMT (UK)  »
Hi there
Great to hear from you.  My query is not really where my ancestors lived but why they went, what job my grandfather did and how they got there.  All I know is that he worked at the Madeira Port Works and I don't think a local researcher would be able to help with this one.  I went to Nottm. University to ask if they knew of any organised move from Nottingham to B.A. but they couldn't help.  If ever you were to find anything out in this line, I would be very grateful.  Thanks so much for info.

Hi there
I cna't add anything re the squiggly writing, but I am interested in the Manchester Traynor family.  My gr grandmother was a Mary Traynor born c1831 and her father was Patrick, with sister Ellen.  I cannot find them in any census although I believe they lived in either Salford or Ancoats.  Any relation?

Do you know of any people going to Argentina c1880 from Nottingham?  My grandfather was a lacemaker and took his family there.  Their address was Madeira Port Works, Beunos Aires.  Would love to know if there was an organised emigration scheme.  Have found no answers at Nottingham University.
