Member Since: May 2005 Posts: 251 Send Message	Hello looking for the marriage of Albert Pratt 1852=1909 born Deepings Lincolnshire to Elizabeth ------1856 - ?. The 1871 census shows him living in Lincolnshire then in the 1881 census he was living in Bradford with wife Elizabeth and family so did he marry in Lincolnshire or Bradford Yorkshire?........no idea when he moved to Bradford or why? Thanks Barry

	yes, we've already found this information reason for move??? As always was .................... to where the jobs were. There were huge movements of people from agricultural areas to industrial areas ............ Bradford was already had a number of industries, but wool became God Google This is just one of the references https://www.visitengland.com/experience/experience-life-victorian-mill-worker Irregardless of this .............. our ancestors always moved around much more than anyone might think. Agricultural labourers moved from farm to farm Young men and women moved to a bigger village/ town /city to become servants, apprentices, etc etc. It always comes down to ................. bettering themselves.
	Researching: My brother, photo taken in September 1991 just a couple of weeks before he died. ............................................................ To help us and to get better results, please post as much detail as you can, especially name, date(s) and place. Also say what you already know.

	To find out when he moved to Bradford ............... look at date of marriage date and place of birth of children move will be between date of last event in Lincolnshire and date of first birth in Bradford.

	He was in Lincolnshire on 2nd April for the 1871 census and he married in Bradford between October and December 1873, so he must have moved sometime between those dates. This looks like his marriage:- First name(s) ALBERT Last name PRATT Marriage quarter 4 Marriage year 1873 Registration month - MarriageFinder™ ALBERT PRATT married one of these people SARAH BERWICK, ELIZABETH ROBINSON District BRADFORD District number - County Yorkshire Country England Volume 9B Page 211 Record set England & Wales marriages 1837-2008 As Sylvia says, he probably moved from agricultural work to a better paid job in a quarry.
