Immigration to Lancashire
« on: Wednesday 23 March 05 19:45 GMT (UK) »
Does anyone have any information as to where the main groups of immgrants came from in the 1800's? I know the Irish immigrated to most parts of Lancashire, and the Italians migrated to Manchester, but was there any other significant waves of immgration to Lancashire?
Smith (Lancashire), McKenna (Ireland/Liverpool/Leyland), Maynard (Hertfordshire/London/Preston), Ricketts (Gloucestershire/Wigan/Preston), Scowcroft (Preston), Harling (N. Yorkshire/Lancashire), Willis (Preston), Clegg (Manchester/Preston), Dodd (Wigan/Cheshire), Alston (Lancashire), Hulks (Hertfordshire), Nicholson (Lancashire/Cumbria), Russell (Lancashire), Wilson (Cumbria), Bracewell (Lancashire), Moxham (Lancashire0

Hi XP

I think you will find there were quite a lot of Scots who emigrated to Lancashire - in fact the Manchester & Lancs. F.H.S. have a special section dedicated to Scottish Ancestry.

See their site

Hi,

5 of my lot came down from Cumberland - 4 to Liverpool, 2 via the Isle of Man - 1 to Manchester.

As Mobo says I also have a few from Scotland - finding more as I find spouses!

My father came from up from Hertfordshire to marry my mum in Stretford - but that seems a one off!

Interested to see what others have found.

Cheers

Keith
