----- Hello, I'm a new lister interested in Puddletown or Piddletown as it was named in the era I am looking. Is there any books printed which gives an insight into life in the 1520-1700 time frame? Maybe not specific to Puddletown but Dorset on a whole. The family I am researching,Genge ,were there for some years and one aspect that really interests me is if a male was old enough to be on the Muster list at 16 years ,would he marry at that age? I know women could & did but wondered re males. It will be interesting to know what kind of work the men did,what the houses looked like,all activities that were on a daily basis. Looking forward to someone being able to give some advice as to where I would find this information. Regards Louise louiseg82@iprimus.com.au
