十八世纪末至十九世纪中叶，西约克郡羊毛工业是工业革命和英国在国际舞台上繁荣的心跳之一。至少到 1830 年代，大部分羊毛布料的生产都是在家庭或小作坊中进行，并大量使用家庭劳动力。处于该行业核心的社区不断壮大和壮大。与此同时，他们在当代仍保留着与世隔绝和不信任陌生人的显着声誉。这种声誉与流入、流出这些制造区及其周边地区的人口大量迁移的确定性相矛盾。我的文章试图调和这两个观察结果。文章基于教区登记册、不信教者登记册和人口普查数据（又与济贫法律账户、土地所有权数据、学徒登记册、庄园法院文件、家庭文件和古物出版物相关联）进行了大规模的家庭重组，认为移民妇女是解决这两种不同观点的关键。对于她们自己、丈夫、女儿、儿子、孙子、兄弟姐妹来说，移民妇女的工作、联系以及文化和经济网络促进了“陌生人”融入这些充满活力的原始工业生产领域。
Between the late eighteenth and mid-nineteenth century, the West Yorkshire woollen industry was one of the heartbeats of the Industrial Revolution and British prosperity on the international stage. At least until the 1830 s, much of this woollen cloth production was undertaken in a domestic or small workshop context and with a significant use of family labour. The communities that were at the heart of this industry thickened and grew. At the same time they retained a remarkable contemporary reputation for insularity and a distrust of strangers. This reputation sits at odds with the certainty that migration into, out of and around these manufacturing districts was significant. My article seeks to reconcile these two observations. Employing a large scale family reconstitution based upon parish registers, nonconformist registers, and census data (in turn linked to poor law accounts, landholding data, apprenticeship registers, manor court documents, family papers and antiquarian publications), the article argues that migrant women are the key to resolving the two different perspectives. For themselves, husbands, daughters, sons, grandchildren, brothers and sisters, the work, connections and cultural and economic networking of migrant women facilitated the integration of ‘strangers’ in these dynamic areas of proto-industrial production.
