Hi I also think it is a good idea. I am researching JENKINS and DAVIS in FoD and HOWELL in S.Shrop I have mostly Potteries / Staffs resources but my ancestors came to SoT chasing work in the mines there. I am sure they were not the only ones to emigrate from FoD to SoT !! Janet Howell Staffs Currently chasing Shadrach Jenkins, b 1831 (ish) poss at Park End, married Sarah Davies, b 1827 poss at Bream known children so far John b 1857 Bream/Lydney, William b. 1868, Sarah Hannah b. 1870 Bream Woodside/Lydney Shadrach poss a freeminer aged 22 Shadrach and John in SoT in 1881, Sarah and Sarah Hannah still in Bream 1881 All together in SoT by 1891 Need to locate them pre 1881 and their marriage (to confirm parents) Any help appreciated !!!
