Notable?

We possibly should have projects for notables and then over-riding projects. I also think that if we projects for English and Scots then there should be one for Welsh Abroad too. Feel free to invite me if you create any of these.

At the moment we have quite a few specialist projects dealing with everyone involved with a specific subset of English migration (the one for the Cornish who moved to Cornwall caught my eye) but this currently only deals with notables, so we either need to refocus this one on everyone or start a new one for all those who left England for other lands that would be the parent of all the various projects.

I also agree about the need for a Welsh one, I was looking around for something similar. To complete the set I assume we'd also want one for Channel Islanders and the Northern Irish (or is the latter too recentist and it'd go under the Irish diaspora project? The latter might be considered politically sensitive from some quarters...).

I think we should re-focus this so that it's for everyone and then highlight the notables on the front page. I'll have a go.... let me know what you think.

Makes sense, it is the way most projects work - if there are too many notables to easily accommodate on the front page then we can figure out a solution (break it down by counties? Start "Notable English Abroad?).

Here is an example: Mary Anne Radford

Born in Guernsey, died in Queensland - she wouldn't really fit in "English Abroad" or "English Settlement in Queensland".
