HOW WE USED TO LIVE -  A Family, Social and Rural History Website

Using old newspapers and books, census returns and historical documents, along with extensive genealogical research, it has been possible to take a glimpse into the past and get a feel of how we used to live with the help of the people who lived out their lives in those earlier times.

SOCIAL HISTORY - Any link on this page will open as a file page, separate from this website. The contained notes are a result of many, many bits of, perhaps useful, information that have been collected from 1978 to the present day, or family trees that have been compiled, or certain subjects that have been, or are still are being researched. If your family came from any of the places mentioned above, or even the surrounding area, you may well hit gold. Don't skip this page! There much more be added, so do come back and check.
