    Thanks Colin and Cobbybrook, I'll try to get hold of copies of those books - might have to be through ebay since my local libraries don't hold anything much besides very basic genealogy guides. Once I get to England again I'll certainly be searching for things like that in various record offices - since most of my lot came from small villages there aren't too many farms they could have been employed at. I hope!

    See message no.3 in this thread for ag.lab wages in 1847

    or this message for advertised wages for working in factories in 1835 that enticed ag.labs away from this land.

    For anyone interested in the conditions of the rural labourer in Norfolk see 'Unquiet Country - Voices of the rural poor 1820-1880' by Robert Lee.
