Thank you Elizabeth :-) I've had a couple of off-list queries and my replies (in summary were): 1. <regarding emigration sponsored by the Union> I'm afraid I don't know of any convenient lists of emigrants. The Minutes indicate where particular Parishes were involved and that could infer individuals by comparing Parish registers with the 1841 Census to identify families that apparently disappear. A need for painstaking analysis. :- ) .... Some Migrants (i.e. folk moving to other locations in England) are identified by name in the minutes. .... You should be able to find the right words by searching for the term 'migr' 2. The dates <in the lists of Paupers etc.> relate to the dates of the meetings where people are mentioned, as entered in the Minutes file. Each meeting in the latter is also cross-referenced to the particular <LDS> image where the meeting begins. Best regards .....................
