ENGLISH PAUPERS MIGRATE TO NORTH AMERICA
(Sources on the origins of the CUTTING, WATTS, BRACKENBURY and MORTER families of Elgin County, Ontario, Canada)
By Jack Morter
Providing for the poor has long been a challenge in England of the 18th and 19th century. Under the Poor Law Amendment Act of 1834 emigration had become part of the culture, in a rural population that Britain no longer wanted. the steady stream of emigrants from Norfolk to Canada, Australia, The United States and New Zealand became a vast flood of hopeful humanity as Victoria's reign progressed, fleeing a homeland without jobs or prospects. The collapse of the agricultural economy brought about by cheap imports was not compensated by a rise in industry. Below are two entries in the Vestry Minute Book of North Walsham, Norfolk, England, 1844-1863 on how the village of North Walsham went about helping their poor.
March 20th 1851 At a meeting to consider raising or borrowing money for the emigration of the poor. Meeting adjourned to Thursday 27th instant at 11 o'clock. R.S.Baker, Chairman.
March 27th. At a Vestry to choose Parish officers. John Wortley & R.S.Baker, Churchwardens. Messrs LeNeve, Thomas Burton, Robert Martin & Clipperton, Overseers.

All the pauper families mentioned above were in the Mar 1851 English census, North Walsham, Norfolk.
Based on Canadian census records and Ohio baptism records it is known they migrated between Apr 1851-Dec 1851. Mary Morter and her family settled in South Salem, Ross County, Ohio.
Stephen CUTTING and family settled in Middleton, Norfolk North county, Ontario and are in the 1852 census.
WATTS and BRACKENBURY / BRAKENBURY and families settled in Bayham, Elgin County, Ontario.
An exact date as to when they left England
and sailing information is unknown. A closing note on Mary Ann MORTER who died April 1852 in South Salem, Ohio. A family story stated she was the half sister to Queen Victoria and in the 1960s a number of US papers wrote articles on the subject
I would be glad to discuss any of these families with interested parties. [email protected] or J. Morter, 139 Nantucket Lndg, Centerville, OH 45458-4208, USA.
