6. Scottish Coal Miners [1]
Does anybody have any information on how coal miners from Scotland emigrated to the United States? I have found a large number of them living in Lonaconing, Maryland in the U.S. 1880 Census. I looked at the Allegany County, Maryland home page and did find out that the area was a coal mining area. There is an implication that the coal company may have paid for their steerage.

7. Re: Morice Square Plymouth [1]
Hello John: As a Plymouthian in exile (almost 60 years) I must congratulate you on your discussion of the Morice Square question. I was going to have a shot at it but gave up as being too complicated. I am very interested in Stoke Damerel as that is where many of my Cornelius ancestors were baptized, married, and buried. The parish has a confusing (to me) history, and I appreciate your clear explanation. Regards, John John Cornelius USA valletort@aol.com Researching: Hill, Lang, Manning, Mortimore, Prout, S

Excuse my ignorance. Millie, I presume that you are referring the the British armed forces. In World War I, conscription was not found necessary until 1916, owing to the massive wave of volunteers enlisting from August 1914 onwards. In Britain conscription was introduced for single men between 18 and 41 in Marc

There have been a lot of questions lately about railways and what info is available. Today in the main library in town I found a book called RAILWAY ANCESTORS IN ENGLAND/WALES 1822-1947 A Guide to Staff Records Written by David T. Hawkins 1995. ISBN 0-7509-0883-1 I read a small part of it and it certainly looks as though it would help anyone who wanted more railway involvement..... /pat --- ~ SLMR 2.1a #7 ~ HONEYMAN web-page: http://www.islandnet.com/~gopher
23. Re: Railway info [1]
Please don't don't suppose any such thing!! The LMS was a giant (by British standards) railway company formed by amalgamation in 1921 of the following railway companies: London and North Western; Midland; Lancashire and Yorkshire; North Staffordshire; Furness; Caledonian; Glasgow and South Western; Highland: these covered much of England and Scotland, and Wales to a lesser extent. The headquarters was at Euston Station, London, and services were particularly important across the Midland
