It shows that the family was central to the migrants’ lives and identities. The techniques of family and digital history are used for the first time to reveal the paths followed by a representative body of Irish immigrant families, using the town of Stafford in the West Midlands as a case study.The book contains vital evidence about the lives of ordinary families. In the long term many intermarried with the local population, but others moved away and some simply died out. The book investigates what forces determined the paths they followed and why their ultimate fates were so varied. A fascinating picture is revealed of family life and gender relations in nineteenth-century England which will appeal to scholars of Irish history, social history, genealogy and the history of the family.Country/Region of Manufacture: GBGenre: Society & CultureTopic: Social Sciences, HistoryItem Width: 19mmItem Weight: 499gRelease Year: 2016 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
