Hello List I am hoping that someone can recommend a book that will tell me about the everyday life of middle class working people in Ireland in the 1800's. My ancestors consisted of jewelers, watchmakers, milliners and photographers who reside in and around Dublin, Carlow City and Drogheda in the 1800's. I would like to find out what the day-to-day life was like for these people in these areas. It would have to be a book that is still in publication as I would have to purchase it since we do not have a very good library selection in this part of northeastern Vermont. Our local one consists of donated books (mostly paperbacks) on a couple of shelves in the back of the General Store which other than the post office is the only business in our town. We even have to drove 7 miles to get to the closest gas station, and most all of our roads are still dirt roads. Thanks again Michelle-Vt.
