My new blog on intra-urban migration or 'why did my city dwelling ancestors move so much?' -https://www.familyhistorygifts.co.uk/poor-as-this-place-is-it-is-still-a-home

'Plan of St James's Square and vicinity 1773 [Edinburgh]' showing General Register House & the Theatre Royal (my interest). See the sales pitch for new buyers of property in the area. A reminder that I am unlikely to find the itinerants I am searching for! #History #Genealogy

Finished my talk for All About That Place and I'm exhausted. The request was rather last minute and I don't do last minute! 😂 Doesn't matter if it's 10 hours or 10 minutes I still struggle because of speaking difficulties.
