I've got a fair chunk of family history connected to Worksop for about 100 years from the mid 1800's though the family line originally came from Lincoln. A bit of a black sheep line as they arrived after the parents had both been convicted of stealing fowl in Saxilby. One of several instances the owner of the birds suffered and sadly he was found dead after one of them.
The family flipped back and forth between Lincoln and Worksop. One of the daughters married though was widowed within a few years, it didn't stop her having children though who the fathers are is a mystery as she never remarried. She, along with some of her children and grandchildren finished up in the USA though some remained in Worksop and one ran a newsagents for many years. The family ties may even stretch to today but with an assortment of surnames and illegitimate children it's very difficult to say who finished up where for many of the family groups,

Touching video, surprising how similar a lot of it still looks.
