Hello again, Thanks to Ruth and Katie for your contributions but I think perhaps I didn't explain what I'm after very well. I have the censuses / facts / dates about the family but I'm really looking for some Evesham local / social history to put these people into a mental "picture"; e.g. the style or construction of housing they lived in, which other religions / denominations were growing / under threat at the time. Her father market gardened 44 acres of land - was this alot or usual or a relatively small piece of land?
