This could have been a factor across East Anglia. Hope that doesn't get too widely talked about, some employers might think it a good idea!

But they would likely have higher wages; a positive, and worse living conditions a negative.

Elizabeth Gaskill observed this dilemma with a true eye and a sympathetic voice.

I have a branch of the Crummett family (my 3 x gt granddad, wife and children) moving from Attleborough, Norfolk to Burnley, Lancashire between 1861 and 1871.  Burnley isn't far from the county boundary with Yorkshire and a few of them did migrate into Yorkshire.  They were agricultural labourers in Norfolk but worked in coal mining and the cotton mills in Burnley.

Luzzu; many of our ancestors had to migrate to stay alive in the 19th century.

Hi There All,
Just came on this Norfolk site to see if I could find any of my husband's gr gr aunt's family, the EAGLINGS of Norfolk, when I saw the name BUTTERS on Kate's posting.
Hubby's gr gr aunt Sarah TOTTLE emigrated from Shipley / Saltaire, Yorkshire to America in 1880.
 
On the 1880 USA census she was living with an Alfred BUTTERS, his wife Anna and 4 children (all born in England).  Alfred, age 27, was described as a potter and they were living in Akron, Summit County, Ohio.
Also at that address was Henry EAGLING, (also described as a potter). Sarah and Henry were married in Summit, 17th June 1880.
Just wondered if this was of any use to you Kate.  :)

By the way, my husband's family, the TOTTLEs moved from Somerset to Yorkshire, to work as textile workers in Salt's mill, Saltaire in the 1870s.

Regards,

Diana
