Here's how to spot parts of the country that had high Irish immigration in Victorian times: Lots of churches dedicated to Saint Patrick. I have lived in many parts of England and believe me, there are loads of "St Patrick's" churches in the West Riding of Yorkshire, and to this day many Catholics with Irish names, due to ancestry. In find that where Irish immigration was low, parish names tend to be either of local saints, or the well known non English ones. |
