My paternal grandmother was Sarah Ann.1875 -1956. Her mother was Mary Anne. 1854 1940 Hers was Charlotte.1834-1880. These three women were the wives of ‘Navvies’ , men working on digging canals and later working on the new fangled railway, They lived in Navvie encampments, and went where the work was. The first five of my grandmother children were born in different parts of the country, two in Workhouse infirmaries. The camps were temporary accommodation provided by the employers ,some were like small towns with a chapel, a school, shops, or a weekly market would be held, there was always an ale house,. Few of the camps survived, once the job was finished they’d all move on to the next one.
Ifnwas a hard life and I’m full of admiration and a lot of pride in my ancestors fortitude and grit, I look at railway via ducts and bridges and think my grandad laid many of those bricks.
