Even they came from somewhere else to make a living. Possibly a few East Africans can claim to have been resident since the beginning, but that's it. |
I was exempting those journeying from Africa to vacant lands. |  | |  |

Moreover, Hugenot/Flemish/Dutch names tended to change spelling, sometimes the word altogether, in English records.
One branch of my ancestors was named variously Remblends, Remblence, Remblands and even Remnants on various birth, marriage, death and census records. Which might have been a French name anglicised, or possibly even the other way around to make them sound posher. |
It was often the case that people did not actually know how their name was spelt, and regional variations came about through regional accents.
If the person recording the name spelt it one way, then that was how it was spelt, until the next time.
Until the 1870 education act most people could neither read nor write - on the basis that there was little need for either. | | | |

I enjoyed listening to the woman on QT who was against foreign skilled workers building Sizewell C because they take OUR money (even though most of it will be French) and take it back home. What she wants, with apparently no self awareness, is for OUR workers to go overseas and bring their money back to the UK. |
Our workers used to be able to do that with ease until, well, you know. |  |

Indeed and my Mrs was one of them, working in 2 separate EU countries. Practically a one woman invasion. Still doable, but harder, and easier for those in better jobs, despite all the talk of EU elitism.
Ah well. |  |
