Hi,
Not a Birmingham question as such, but it does relate to Birmingham people. Thought I would try this forum first.
I have discovered that the head of the family of my ancestors that emmigrated to Canada lived for at least two years in Belfast and other family members appear to have embarked on Atlantic crossings from there. Was there some benefit in living in Belfast, in terms of securing cheaper standby tickets where shipping lines wanted to fill ships?
Any ideas.
Thanks.
