Description

Description

This personal history explores the lives of the author's ancestors, tracing their family line back to the 16th century through parish records, medieval court records, and newspaper articles. The book provides detailed accounts of the author's Victorian and later ancestors, shedding light on the challenges faced by working-class families in rural England during this period.

Life in the villages was marked by widespread drunkenness and minor crime amongst the poor, with many families struggling to make ends meet. However, as compulsory education improved, life began to change for the better, and the author's more recent ancestors were able to build on their predecessors' experiences.
