After checking the timeline, I can find nothing remotely relevent which would help explain why my 2nd great grandfather Charles Brandon, born in Shoreditch 1801, would have left London and taken himself off to Bristol, where he married in 1822 aged 21. He was one of 8 children and the only one who left London. As I have no way of discovering why.....might I assume it may have been because he was looking for something better in life?
Not really a research question but the type of mystery which bugs us all, unless or until we can get some kind of handle on it!
