If in the 1600s people emigrated to America then I am sure travelling 100 odd miles across England was a doddle.
I wonder how many of us have ancestors way before the censuses who migrated across the UK. I know many moved to big cities such as London but what about a Suffolk family in Oxfordshire in the 1600s?
I have a Scottish ancestor in Durham in the late 1700s and one ancestor who migrated from Dent, in West Yorkshire/Cumbria to Durham in about 1790.
And I have a Kent born ancestor in mid Sussex in the 1600s. She said she was of Goudhurst, Kent when she wed in mid Sussex in 1667. I found her baptism in Goudhurst.
