in England 1780 - 1890 I picked up this book at the boot sale yesterday, it's full of wonderful photographs and pictures, ideal for illustrating that family tree site! For example - there's a great b/w photo entitled Sheep shearing Oxfordshire c 1896. Haven't had time to look right through it yet, but if anyone would like to let me have their 'district' I will see if there's anything relevant and scan and send. Ann x
