Amble 1841 Census

[Coquet]

This is the list of those in Amble township on the 6th June 1841 born in Ireland. (All Labourers except the last)

Highly likely we have here a list of Irish Navigators working on the Harbour? There are also a number Scottish and English Labourers (not listed here); a percentage of which might also be working on the Harbour.


Anyway, unless a list of employees of the harbour construction contractor turns up at the archives, this is probably as close as we'll get to a list of the famous "Irish Navvies".
