Dick KING by J. SCALLAN

The King family had lived in the parish of Cam, in Gloucestershire, from at least 1583, when the first marriage record is found.

In England, the call for emmigrants to go out to the Cape was made, because of the depression, and very many unemployed at the time.
The King family were weavers of good quality serge, but due to the industrial revolution, the production of much cheaper quality fabric was being made up North, and this caused the closure of several spinning and weaving mills in their area.
It soon became known that not too many professionals or craftsmen would be chosen, so we find Philip listed as a labourer.
Now, because of the depression, especially felt in Gloucestershire, many weavers felt the need to seek work elsewhere. So it was that ... we find that ... Philip worked for the Royal Navy in the docks at Chatham.
