Hi Mandi, i,d say Balls Hill has changed a lot since 1821, i couldnt see any old mining cottages which my ancestor would have lived in.I felt odd walking up and down taking photos! i was expecting someone to ask what i was up to! you can still see a lot of the old mining cottages in the area tho.

Wales / Emmigration?

Hi anyone, my surname is Ellis and i have traced my family in Shropshire back to about 1750, i was wondering if anyone has any knowledge as to wether or not there was a period when Welsh moved to England or if it was a general "trickle" over several years?
