    From what I remember (it was some years ago) it was a large landowner   
   moving agricultural workers.  I don't remember any mention of mining.   
      
   Part of my Welsh family moved from mid-Wales to the North East of   
   England because of the coal mining and iron and steel works (via Merthyr   
   Tydfil).   
      
   If you look in the late 19th Century censuses, there are whole streets   
   full of Welsh people in places like Middlesbrough, Stockton ..
