After WW2 there was no work in Ireland. London was being rebuilt after the Blitz and hundreds of thousands of Irish went to England looking for labouring work on the building sites. After that the motorway network was started and they moved all over the country building roads. Birmingham is in the centre of England and most roads crossed through it. Think of Spagetti Junction.Thousands of Navvies resided there at that time. When the roads spread out, so did the workers,to places like Leicester and Manchester, Coventry etc. It is not unusual for that generation to have lived in so many different cities. Just be proud of your Dad, it was a very tough life.

He did what he had to do back then!
Times were tough!
I believe it is normal, to do what you have to!

It really depends on person to person. I know many people to love to move and some that live in the same place their whole lives.

As Dory says - times were hard back then, especially in Ireland where things only really got better in the late 80's through the 90's. Quite normal for Irish to move around, especially in England.


Orla C
Yes, it was very normal for people to move around so much, especially if they had no family in the country where they were living.

I don't know anything about the 1940s, I think that it was normal to move around my family moved from Ireland to America because of the famine, before I knew my great-grandparents they had to move around alot, I think that my great-grandparents are still in Ireland in the County Mayo area

No its not normal. He is on the run for mudering his first wife. Turn him in as soon as possible.
