Irish workers in Wainfleet/Skegness 1920's
« on: Friday 12 February 10 09:03 GMT (UK) »
Hi all

Does anyone know of any history on the Irish farm workers who came to Wainfleet/Skegness in the 1920-30's or if there was a local register for them

I have a wedding cert stating where he lived in 1933 but cannot find anything on the farm - looks like Scuphohis farm Wainfleet St Mary

Thanks

There have never been immigration controls for the Irish who (until 1922) were British citizens.

The 1933 Lincs directory has a farmer in W StM called SCUPHOLM, so I imagine it was Scupholm's Farm.
Today I broke my personal record for most consecutive days alive.

Irish people probably farm workers appear to have been present in this general area for several hundred years. My 2XGGM Anne Troy nee Walsh was born near Alford c1765. Her father (or grandfather?) had been in the area since c1700.
