An index of names from :
Elizabethan Life : Morals and the Church Courts
by Dr F G Emmison
This is the sixth in my series of indexes based on Dr Emmison's books on
Elizabethan Life in Essex. Although there are comparatively few
genealogists whose research takes them back to the late 1500s, these
books are a great storehouse of Elizabethan names in the county. They
come from a time when the county population was no more than about 50000
(it has been estimated as 35000-40000 adults) so the indexes are a large
sample of the population and may often indicate whether particular names
were widespread, localised, or uncommon. See also my textfile ESS16C.TXT
which is a general note on Dr Emmison's work in this area.
In the nature of this book it is essential to make use of several
abbreviations to save space, and I have based them on Dr Emmison's
usage. PMI = pre-marital incontinence, EMI = extra-marital incontinence,
"burnt" means to infect with venereal disease.
Other obvious abbreviations are Bradwell(M) = juxta-Mare & the like.
The book was borrowed from the library of Otago University.
It has been indexed by Mike Foster of Wellington, New Zealand
