Middleton Family History

Viac o knihe

This booklet is an examination of one small branch of Middletons from Yorkshire. From first beginnings in idyllic rural Wensleydate in North Yorkshire, we follow the family chronologically through the centuries to the twentieth century where descendants are spread far and wide. Theirs is a story of the changing times: from the earliest days where they are farming, through the upheaval of land enclosure when they become farm workers, or engaged in cottage industries, to relocation to towns and cities as the process of industrialisation draws them to the heavy industries and town living in Durham.
