Stitson: Family tree

< BACK

1. Overview

Although living and health care was improving in the 19th century in Britain, and more citizens were able to move into the middle class, most citizens’ lives were still characterised by a mere day-to-day struggle for survival. Many of our Stitson ancestors were very familiar with this way of life. Being part of the poorer working class in England, parents and their older children alike worked hard to survive in harsh, unforgiving circumstances in a society were social disparity was rife. The Stitsons worked as carpenters, grooms, carters and washerwomen. Only a few were able to chisel out a better life, fitting for the poorer spectrum of the middle class, thus improving their social standing in society through mere hard work, determination and perseverance.
