Yeah, that's fine. I mean, some of the men ended up off the coast of Norway en route to Amsterdam. So it was not as easy as they hoped. However, once they got to Amsterdam and they were all reunited because the men had been split up from the women in a...

bit of a crisis while they were trying to escape because as well the other thing about leaving a country to go to another country what makes that easy is if you've got permission to go and they weren't allowed they didn't have permission to leave they didn't have what we would now they didn't have a passport in the way that we we would have they didn't have that permission and they were actually hiding from the authorities and escaping illegally

so that was a challenge for them but yeah when they got there i think it's useful to understand the context of the fact that over in england they'd been debating the rights and wrongs of how to organize themselves into a church and these debates didn't stop when they got to the netherlands When they got over to Amsterdam, they were actually, I guess you could say they were falling out.

The debates were challenging for them. And so the man who had led them to Amsterdam, the preacher Richard Clifton, who had been the minister at a church in a village called Babworth, not far from Scrooby, before he was sacked, he had taken them across there. But then there was a rift, there was a break, and there was disagreements among the elders.

And so the group we know became the Pilgrims on the Mayflower moved to Leiden under the supervision of John Robinson, who had been Clifton's assistant.

That's a difficult question to answer. There are some catalogues of names of people at the time who they knew were from England. They were families, so there were a fair few people. And when the group escaped from England on a boat that had come from Gainsborough up the River Trent out into the Humber, there were a few people that got on the boat in Gainsborough. about 12 people.

And then by the time they got to their rendezvous in the Humber, there were 80 of them. So they'd pick people up on the way. So we know that that's how many people there were in that particular escape attempt. So I would think some of those people then were the ones who moved with Robinson, who had come from some of the villages around here. And a lot of the people were related here.
