Paul,
Welcome to the list.
My eyes lit up when I saw "Coalbrookdale" - I'm a genealogist and have
ancestors who lived at Madeley, which I understand is near enough to
Coalbrookdale for them to have worked there - father John Price and his
many sons were all Moulders. Do you know of a website where I may find
out more about the foundry and its operations in the early 1800s?
The sons moved to Dudley before the 1841 census - I wonder what happened
that they should all go elsewhere, - presumably they would earn more money
in Dudley, but did something happen at the Coalbrookdale foundry around
that time?
I'm from Birmingham and know the Midlands fairly well, but I don't know the
Ironbridge area at all. Any site you could refer me to would be greatly
appreciated.
