Bearing in mind the issues raised in these exchanges it is well worth visiting the excellent EPPI site (sponsored by Southampton University, please read the BOPCRIS 'Terms of Use'), in particular this page; http://www.eppi.ac.uk/eppi/digbib/view?did=c1:62950&p=965&z=125 Two points are interesting to me: 1/ The contrast between parishes in their treatment of the poor 2/ The fear of migration of the poor to England and how little migration there actually was at that time. A happy and healthy 2009 to all Frank P.S. Given the amount of 18th and 19th century Irish records that were destroyed, this site is extremely helpful tracing ancestors. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Barbara Dowling" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, December 24, 2008 1:40 AM Subject: [IRL-WICKLOW] Land to eldest son *************************************** > 1- Only leave in the body of the mail what is relevant to your answer > > 2- Change the SUBJECT LINE to suit the body of your own Mail to List. > > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to > [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the > quotes in the subject and the body of the message > >
