Reading it now for the second time but I need to be entered for my own copy, not this borrowed one.<br /><br />That is, a nurse with North Yorks ancestors and family history. <br /><br />Oh, bliss, thank you Sam ThomasE.

Very interesting will.
Midwives co...Fantastic tale! Very interesting will.<br />Midwives could be extremely important members of the community, and not only for the obvious reasons that they helped women in childbirth. They were often involved as 'expert witnesses' in cases involving illegitimacy, unexplained deaths of newborns, paternity disputes, and unfortunately also in cases of witchcraft. The 'searchers' who looked for witch-marks on the bodies of the accused were very often midwives, and their sworn testimony could make a big difference to whether someone was found guilty. Bridget was obviously an important and wealthy figure - I love the list of names and titles of her pall-bearers!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16288917377032021803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2456802468539868519.post-78171815975835015562013-01-08T04:48:01.887-08:002013-01-08T04:48:01.887-08:00I'm very interested in historical novels set i...I'm very interested in historical novels set in York , where I live, and I would really like to read The Midwife's Tale it as soon as it comes out.
