I was wondering what the conditions were like in the area at this time, what would have made them take up the offer to come 12000 miles to settle.
It wasn't just Lydney many folk left the area in the mid to late 1800's - some within the UK some to the far corners of the world.
Various drivers but mainly a better life - spiritually, fiscally and/or environment.
