If your ancestors were Devon farmers and country dwellers this volume is of great relevance and interest because it examines the daily life of villagers using the statistical data accumulated by social historians. It answers some of the questions we would have asked our ancestors if we could travel back in time to their era. Questions are discussed regarding

• marriage partners

• life span

• bereavement

• re-marriage

• size of families

• mobility

• men's & women's work

• standards of living

and many more everyday issues.
