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

                       ELIZABETHAN ESSEX  -  MOBILITY

   In his book Elizabethan Life : Morals and the Church Courts, Dr F.G.
   Emmison throws some incidental light on people's mobility.  In citing
   evidence given in a number of law suits he notes the ages and places
   of abode of several witnesses.  They show a surprising amount of
   movement.
