Migration between Ireland & England...

[cassarilda]

Just wondering if there would have been any records of people or families moving from Ireland to England?

My grandmother (Phoebe Ward) was married in Bilston, Staffordshire in 1939, and Im guessing her family was there as well, because she was 19, and the witnesses were all Wards...

Our sources tell us though that she was Irish, born in Dublin (or so she told her children and on some birth certificates), so I was wondering if there would be any records of movement between the two countries at that time, or prior?

I have her fathers name, but I dont know if he would be too young to show up on the 1901 census?

Oh and I cant look at her death certificate because she disappeared in 1950ish and no-one has heard of her since.

Help?

Hi

The bad news is no there aren't any records, sorry.

As Ireland was under the jurisdiction of the British government you didn't need any paperwork so it was just the same as getting on the ferry from Southampton to the Isle of Wight.

I do know that ships from Whitehaven used to carry items such as coal over to Ireland and then ferry people back ie double income!!!!!!!!!!

This is a problem I've got and I don't even know from which part they came from.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

Ive just sent you a PM audrey..

where did you find that info?   

One thing tho.. IF my grandmother was born in 1920, it might make that Albert a bit young to be her father? maybe?  Although hopefully i will know soon when she was born
