Sure! I'll email you. The best example I have written up so far is John Franklin when he was exploring North America in the 1830s - it's in the context of a book I'm writing at the moment on fostering and adoption (some of which was due to imperial employment)

Congratulations Emily! Looking forward to reading it

This is really interesting! I'm currently writing about parents working abroad in the 18th C sending portraits of themselves back to their small children in England so that they don't forget what they look like - what age were his daughters and I wonder if this was his impulse too?

The book is a cross-class comparison really - I use poor, middling and elite sources - I argue that you need to look at poor law comparatively because so many middling behaviour was aimed at avoiding or minimising exposure through the poor law filiation laws
