With regard to your other question about life in Hertford, are you familiar with www.hertfordshire-genealogy.co.uk ? Select places in the menu at left and navigate to the Hertford page which lists a wealth of books to consult. In addition there is A Brief History of Hertford you can find by searching on Google. I found it quite informative when interested in the Butcherley Green area.
