I once read that most people rarely moved more than 20 miles from where they were born, before the 1841 census; the exception being a move to London or across the seas, for the most adventurous?

I have been looking at the 1841 Stokenchurch families, to see whether they moved away and where they went to..... and what was their occupation?
Most of the men were Ag. Labs or in the chair making industry, while the women were doing lacemaking. When they moved away, did they continue in these occupations or did they try something new?

I would love to hear from anyone who has "Stokenchurch Siblings", especially those who moved away and across the seas in the 19th century.
 

Hi my Dads family were Stokenchurch born and bred, my Dad is not very good at remembering names etc I am looking for the Ashby family that is my Dads, Dad and the Holloway family my Dads Mums family, I believe my Grampy George William Ashby was born in 1907 he dies in 1966 in a carr accident on Dashwood Hill with his son Ronald who was also killed, any information on the Ashby's or Holloway's would be great.
