Hi, Glad I could help you, as for going to cornwall you never know we all assume back then that family never travelled far but it is surprising that they did, wether it is to be near family or to find work.> From: [email protected]> To: [email protected]> Date: Fri, 12 Sep 2008 17:33:24 -0400> Subject: Re: [GLS] Mitcheldean Parish Registers> > Jenny: Amazing, I found a Nancy Coleman in Longhope whose father was > Josiah!!

Hello Catherine, I was given to understand that the movement was primarily in the reverse direction. That is, as seams in tin and copper mines wore out, miners moved from Devon & Cornwall to the Forest of Dean and to the south Wales coal fields. Once expressed amusingly as the cola fields, which draws a picture of miners mining for drinks.
