The essays range back in time as far as the fourteenth century and span topics as diverse but demonstrably interconnected as internal migration family structure and employment marriage and widowhood inheritance and remarriage the determinants of marital fertility maternal mortality and illegitimacy. Data sources include wills tithing lists manorial court rolls parish registers of various types and family reconstitutions as well as contemporary works and documents.
