Maiden Stone:  Your comments about pauper/workhouse people from Southwark to work in Lancashire was really helpful.  I am in Canada so not been able to get to England to trek this one out.   I have relatives in both Preston area and London, some having spent their lives in the workhouses.   I am finding DNA matches within one family for both areas....made me do some head scratching.  So there is a good likelihood that my 2nd great grandfather from the London workhouses, did also have several children in Lancashire.   I was actually looking for information about the Flemish weavers coming to Lancashire.  I believe another family line was among them, arriving sometime 1520ish.  Thank you.
