Hello everyone
This message, and my reply, has just been posted to the Kent Family
History Society discussion group. Does anyone know anything about the
19th century England/France lace trade?

Hello Jan
I'm not the best of lace historians, but I'll forward your message to
'Arachne' an internet lace discussion group, it's very likely to get a
few good replies.
Do you know if you are asking about machine made lace or handmade lace?
Can you be more specific than just 19th century?
Where in France might you be interested in? The traditional
lacemaking areas of France include Bayeux, Calais, Lille, Chantilly,
Dieppe, le Puy, Valenciennes....
and there's your Kent link - Valenciennes is twinned with Chatham!

My apologies as this is not Kent based but I wondered if anyone had
knowledge of where I might get information of the movement of workers
in the
cotton/lace trade between uk and France in 19th Century? I vaguely
remember
something about Courtaulds records but cannot remember how to access.
Many
thanks
