My g grandfather was a laceworker from Somerset & he moved up to work in the lace industry in Nottingham towards the end of the nineteenth century, as the lace industry went into decline in Somerset. I'm curious to know how many other Somerset laceworkers did this, rather than try their luck for a different kind of job, say, in Bristol (he was only 20 & single, so in a way it was easier for him to move...in another way he would have adapted quickly to learning something new)
Is there any way I can do a search of the relevant census to see how many people, living in Nottingham at that time, had been born in Somerset ?
Thanks
