I would like to back up my tree with the social history of that time, being 1700's and 1800's as it would be interesting to understand their lives. My tree is mainly regarding Kent and my family tree consists of the Rigden and the Shilling families. I would appreciate recommendations, as I have to order from the net therefore not able to see the book before buying. |

Thank you to you both for getting back to me. Yes Madmeg what a lovely gift. Unfortunately I can't visit the library as I live in Northern Spain and there are no english books about this area. |

I suppose the area's I am looking into regarding my family tree, is the countryside especially farming and live in servants and needlewoman. These seem to be the main occupation of the Rigden tree I am researching. |
