Family Migrations
Posted by bessie under Uncategorized
I thought that a map would be useful showing the locations of of some of the main Watmough, Watmore and Whatmore families past and present. The map shows definite links between family via a continuous line, and speculative links via a broken line. The dates beside each place name are approximate. For places with early dates, the family may have been there long before the date suggested, but this evidence is not available. In some cases - e.g. the Wolverley to Middlesborough link, the actual link goes via other places but to show these would have cluttered the map unduly. The Wolverley - Middlesborough link was via Sedgeley. The Wolverley - Mansfield link was via Ogley Hay. Minor migrations have been omitted from the map.
Migrations to Birmingham and London have not been shown on the map as so many family branches have links with these cities.
The map itself is reproduced from the ‘National Gazetteer of Great Britain and Ireland published by Virtue and Compamy of London about 1868.
