Norfolk / Re: Norfolk families heading for Yorkshire - anyone?

Very interesting thread. I hadn't realised just how much people were moving about the country.
My great granddad, George Tuttle from Heathersett, moved from Lowestoft to Hartlepool in 1870s; wife Sarah Ann and baby William went with him. He was a bricklayer and Hartlepool was undergoing an expansion. He then returned back to Lowestoft after about 10 yrs. William became a brickie as well, another son John became a blacksmith labourer (in Yorkshire) and my granddad James went on the trawlers at Hull. His father Edmund Tuttle was farm labourer though and his mum Elizabeth, died 86yrs in Union Work House, Swainsthorpe, Norfolk.
Regards
Anne
