    Default Info on the civil war

    I have an ancestor whom I believe was I believe active in the civil war. He came from Worfield near Bridgnorth and I was wondering where I could get more information from and if there was any literature that would give some idea of the life of the average person/

    Not quite what you asked for but it'd be a good start:

    A couple of books:

    John Adair's By the sword divided: eyewitness accounts of the English Civil War, seems to be recommended in a lot of places.

    Much of Charles Carlton's Going to the wars: the experience of the British Civil Wars, 1638-1651 is on Google Books.

    Hi Malcolm I already have that document and it is quite useful. The other stuff sounds good too.

    Cromwell's Army, by C.H.Firth (first published 1902, but reprinted many, many times) is still a good read. It covers topics such as arms, medical care, religion in the army, politics in the army, clothing and discipline.
