There and back again
Audrey Collins
8 August 2013
There and back again
Going away doesnt mean staying
away
What makes you think they were abroad?
 Missing from the census?
 Missing a marriage?
 Family stories or artefacts
 Surprise discoveries when you are looking for something else
 Clues in the records
 Sometimes hit and hope is the right strategy
For king (or queen) and country, or for work
 Armed forces
 Merchant Navy
 Diplomatic and colonial service
 Trade
 Temporary work
 A new start
