OP Looking for a suitable link conjured by my local village name, I came across a fascinating account of a migratory passage to Australia in 1860, by a young woman born in my village. edit: ooooops, WRONG! Another Welsh village of the same name, by the looks of further reading. But still quite poignant. Since the original chat is above the Ewquator, I post it again here for your possible interest:

"... some woman came on board with Apples and Lemons to sell. I received a letter with a Post Office order Of one Pound from my dear Mother. I pray God to bless me that I may pay it back a hundred fold..."
