NE Lincs history
« on: Wednesday 14 May 08 01:14 BST (UK) »
Please can anyone recommend any history books or articles which give some idea of life in NE Lincs in medieval times?!
My wifes ancestors farmed and lived in Fulstow, South Somercotes, Skidbrook (they were also churchwardens there)   and Theddlethorpe.  from 1592 - late 1700s family name of WALKERLEY in the parish registers and in wills etc.   Must have been pretty bleak in those days.

Is there any record of the population numbers that far back?  I have the Cassini Maps mid 1800s edition which shows there was very little in the way of houses etc. What would they have subsisted on then?   Were there manor houses for those villages?

Hoping someone can can help with this sort of local history knowledge!
Thanks
Richard

Try to find a copy of:

"Local Census Listings 1522-1930 Holdings in the British Isles," by Jeremy Gibson and Mervyn Medlycott, Federation of Family History Societies, c1997.

You may find a copy in your main local library.

"British History On-line" which you can pick up by putting the village name and "British History" into Google will help to answer some of your questions if they were recorded in the original text of the "Victoria History" for Lincolnshire.
