Did he change his occupation when he moved? A lot of people moved from the country to the big towns for work at that time. Did all the children make the move(s) with him? Possible he moved back to Cambs to be near family to help with the children. |

There was no occupation change and I assume the whole family moved, If not the youngest one definately went with them and so did the eldest because he witnessed his dads 2nd marriage . I did wonder if it was illness that made them move but they would have had to have paid for treatment then anyway so I dont think this was the case. I can understand him moving back to be with his family but what about his new wifes family, she was a twin. Plus she left her own son in the workhouse. It must have cost them money to travel that distance and maybe they did it with a sick child and a pregnant sick mother. Not to mention carrying all there belongings too. |
