Derbyshire but links to many other places, inc. Liverpool

[MaryA]

Dealing primarily with Derbyshire it does however cover the whole of the British Isles as people moved around seeking work, travelled as vagrants through the County or were chased throughout the realm as the responsibility of fatherhood and law caught up with them. There are references to Canada, Australia, New Zealand and America, as well as other lands overseas, as some moved further afield.

I put Liverpool in the search engine and there were a number of references to people who were apprenticed in Liverpool and then travelled to foreign parts, settlement documents and other interesting items.

Thanks very much Mary.
I put Australia into the search engine, great reading.

How about the number of "bedsteadry" claims in Derbyshire.
Strewth!
So, that's what they all got up to in the Peak District before electricity!
