tuxy on Family Tree Circles

My great grandad George TUXWORTH emigrated from Lincolnshire to Australia aboard the Salier which sailed from the German port of Bremen on 22nd January 1887.he married Alice Sophia BACKSHELL in Brisbane, Queensland on 24th Feb 1891.I obviously want to learn more about my family but would love to know why he left home as did many others.Poverty I suspect. Th very same reason driving emigrants today.
