4 Generations of Strong Women
|
Can anybody suggest any books ,fact or fiction which deal with everyday Westmorland life in the 1700 and 1800s.
I find it very difficult to imagine how my ancestors lived .They worked the land,small farmers or labourers ,a joiner ,a shoemakerGirls seem to be servants till they married.
Any thoughts ?

A year at Ambleside by Harriet Martineau may be of some use or write/email to the Amblseide Museum and Armitt Library there is lots of info there --they even found me a photo of my husband's great grand parents --very good service.
