Europe / Routes the Irish took to the U.K
« on: Tuesday 16 November 04 10:57 GMT (UK) »
There were three main streams of Irish migrants in Britain:
~From the Province of Ulster to Glasgow, Paisley and Kilmarnock on the west coast of Scotland and to Dundee in the east.
~From the central and western counties of Ireland, Kildare, Mayo and Roscommon, through Dublin and Drogheda to Liverpool and other Lancashire towns, and
~From the south western counties of Ireland Cork, Waterford and Limerick into South Wales and Bristol from there many then moved on to London at a later date.
These migrants continued to arrive in England, Wales & Scotland in the 1840’s - 1860’s.

Family Bibles / Colbert Bibles
« on: Monday 15 November 04 19:38 GMT (UK) »
Just as a matter of course. If anyone should find any Colbert family bibles unwanted, thrown away & in need of some TLC in the U.K. Let me know about them.
I will keep any Colbert related documentation (not just bibles) with the hope to reunite with their Colbert family.
in conjunction with my One Name Study.
Thank you!
