Northumberland / Re: Norfolk farm labourers in the Northumberland/Durham coalfields
« on: Thursday 20 July 17 21:23 BST (UK)  »
I have just discovered that my 2x great grandfather John Peck went to Durham around 1871, as he was listed in the Census for that year living in lodgings, Westoe, Southshields with 3 others 2 labours and one bricklayer.  I was wondering if they moved up to work at the Souter Lighthouse which was being built around then. My ancestor went back to Norfolk and was with his family by the following census 1881, where he was listed as a farm labourer. Thank you for your posts I have enjoyed reading them.
