Emlu on Family Tree Circles

Croughton Northampton England was a small village close to the boundaries of Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire and Warwickshire. Most residents were employed in agriculture. When times got difficult in the 1850s and 1860s a number of single young people and families emigrated either to industrial Lancashire or to Australia and New Zealand. Many families were related looking back in the records. I am interested in the patterns of migration. Did families follow each other. Families such as the Wakelin, Arnold, Merry, Gurden,Hawkins ,Allen and South families. I would like to share information on any of these families.

The MADDICK family have been a persistent family in the parish of Rattery since records began. They moved of course to adjoining parishes but land they farmed was in Rattery. In the 1850s the younger sons got on the move. Robert and John Maddick emigrated to Newfoundland Canada about 1845 . Jeffery and Susannah MADDICK took their family off to Australia, landing in Moreton Bay.Brisbane in 1852. Sadly Susannah died soon after and Jeffery married again to Wilhemina Johnson. Looking to contact any descendents.
