An ancestor- profession, painter- moved from Strood Kent to Portsmouth Hampshire before his marriage in 1812. He spent the rest of his life in Hamphire. I would like to know what was happening at that time in Kent, particularly the Strood, Rochester area that would make someone descide to move away from a place that their family had lived for generations. Plus what sort of things were happening in Portsmouth that would make someone consider moving there.
A lot of this information can be hard to find when trying to get answers from Australia with no idea of the local area.
