Reasons for leaving? (General)
Very true. Also as the mines, iron works and so on in the Forest declined, those in neighbouring South Wales, often owned by the same companies, were booming, so many FoD folk "emigrated" to Wales. Not that conditions there were any better, but at least there was work to be had not only in heavy industry but also the infrastructure - building houses etc.
