<br/><br/><b>Industrial Revolution</b>
<br/><br/>During the Industrial Revolution the increasing mechanisation of farming reduced the number of agricultural labourers needed in the production of food. Many of these displaced people migrated across the country or to the new world with their wives and children seeking work in areas booming with the opportunities created by the Industrial Revolution. You can read about it <a href="http://thebarnumeffect.blogspot.com/2010/09/bleak-situation.html" target='_blank' title='A bleak situation'>here</a>.

My gggg grandfather <a href="Harper-James-ind00175.htm" onclick='javascript:hidePopUpFrame("");' target='detail' title='James Harper'>James Harper</a>, born in Cakemore in 1794, did not follow in the footsteps of his farming family, instead leaving to work as a Boatman on the canals of Staffordshire. His son <a href="Harper-JamesHenry-ind00168.htm" onclick='javascript:hidePopUpFrame("");' target='detail' title='James Henry Harper'>James Henry Harper</a> travelled in the 1860s with his wife and 5 children to Middlesbrough and then County Durham, working as a coal miner.

<br/><br/><b>Canadian Storey</b>
<br/><br/>Early on in my family history research I came across a bible that belonged to my great great grandmother <a href="Storey-MaryAnn-ind00022.htm" onclick='javascript:hidePopUpFrame("");' target='detail' title='Mary Ann Storey'>Mary Ann Storey</a>. According to the inscription the bible was a present to Mary, on the occasion of her 50th Birthday, sent from her nieces Violet & Maud Storey who were living in London, Ontario. There was a pouch in the back of the bible which held a number of photographs. From the comments on the back of the photos I gather that Mary’s brother <a href="Storey-George-ind1957733151.htm" onclick='javascript:hidePopUpFrame("");' target='detail' title='George Storey'>George Storey</a> moved to Canada, was married to Louise, with daughters Violet & Maud. If you're Canadian, and a Storey, please take a look <a href="http://thebarnumeffect.blogspot.com/2010/10/long-shot.html" target='_blank' title='A bleak situation'>here</a>.

My original impetus for family history research was to trace the origin of a genetic flaw that affects the women in my family, making them prone to breast & ovarian cancers.
<br/><br/>
I have traced the source back as far as <a href="Smith-Ada-ind00019.htm" onclick='javascript:hidePopUpFrame("");' target='detail' title='Ada Smith'>Ada Smith</a>, but neither her mother (<a href="Storey-MaryAnn-ind00022.htm" onclick='javascript:hidePopUpFrame("");' target='detail' title='Mary Ann Storey'>Mary Ann Storey</a>) or her grandmother (<a href="Robinson-Sarah-ind00025.htm" onclick='javascript:hidePopUpFrame("");' target='detail' title='Sarah Robinson'>Sarah Robinson</a>) apparently died from cancer. Perhaps it was inherited from her father (<a href="Smith-Charles-ind00023.htm" onclick='javascript:hidePopUpFrame("");' target='detail' title='Charles Smith'>Charles Smith</a>.) If you have ancestors in common with Mary Ann Storey or Charles Smith I'd be interested in hearing from you.
