However, the OP's idea is more about how an individual moved about rather than linked to one specific place. This can help in identifying or narrowing down likely places to find further information, or the pattern of movement can shed light on their life and times (did they move along the lines of new railways? Did an industry die out in one area and have a boom time elsewhere? Was there a ferry linking coastal areas? etc) Ruth
