1. [BC Diaspora] Posting Interests [1]
As one of those who hasn't yet posted, I think I'd better do my bit! Actually, the people I'm interested in are from the Walsall area, which I know is not really BC, but unless someone sets up a Walsall Diaspora List, this is as close as I can get. My 2 x gt grandfather, James WHITE, was born in Dorset in about 1836, but moved to Walsall Wood in the late 1870s with his family. His son Frederick, my great-grandfather, who was a miner, married a local girl Ann/Annie/Rosanna NEWMAN from Rushall in 1886. In a
2. [BC Diaspora] SAVAGE [1]
What a good list. Marvellous idea! My Great Great Granddad was John Savage, born in Bilston. By 1871 he was living in Pendlebury with his wife and children. He worked in the mine owned by Andrew Knowles. By 1881 he was in Castleford, Yorks, with some of his children. By then his wife had died - the second ever burial at St Augustine's Pendlebury in 1874. By 1891 all the Savages seem to have moved back to Pendlebury area, although I have not yet traced the death of John. I do not know how long they staye
3. [BC Diaspora] GAUNT = MADDOX, 1767 [1]
Hello Listers My first Mailing: Tycho GAUNT married Elisabeth MADDOX in Rowley Regis in 1767. Elisabeth was the daughter of Illedge MADDOX and Mary RANN and thus began at least 4 generations of Rann Dolphin GAUNT, b. 1768, 1824, 1853, 1887  all born in London. In the 1881 census the middle two are Chemists and Druggists in Southwark. I would dearly like to contact any descendants.

8. [BC Diaspora] WILLIAMS/GOUGH, Staffs to Sheffield [1]
Hello, Thomas WILLIAMS and his wife Sarah GOUGH and all but one of their children left the Tipton/Sedgley/Bilston area in 1859 and moved to Rotherham, Yorkshire. They stayed here a few years and then moved on to Brightside in Sheffield, Yorkshire. The child they left behind was their daughter Annie WILLIAMS.

Hello, This morning I subscribed to the Black Country list. My husband's Copper relatives emigrated from the Black Country about 1892 and settled in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, near Pittsburgh.

10. [BC Diaspora] Welcome, all [1]
Hi friends and cousins! Thanks, Elaine, for kicking off our initial Roll Call. We have 13 subscribers at present, which isn't bad for starters. My mining families moved, for the most part, to the area around Rotherham in Yorkshire. Names include ALLEN, BROOKES, HYDE, FLAVELL and PORTER. They started to move over before 1881, but the last lot - the FLAVELL family - didn't go until about 1898. Some of them moved around a fair bit. For example, the family of Absalom ALLEN moved from Rotherham to Hyland>She

16. [BC Diaspora] Virus Messages [1]
Dear friends, This is a regular message to remind folks about the Rootsweb protocol regarding viruses. It is good manners to let people know when you have a virus, and might have passed it on to them. If you have done so, you will have done it off-list, because the Rootsweb system strips all messages of html code, which can carry viruses. Also, as you know, you cannot post attachments to the mailing lists, so viruses can't get through that way. So, if you think you might have passed a virus on to someo
