I have a number of ancestors, male and female, who were nailers in the Bartley Green area in the late 1800's. In fact most of the villagers seemed to be nailers. They worked many hours. With no TV, radio etc and probably unable to read how did they know what was going on in the world? They must surely have known about Parliament, the Monarch etc so where did they get the information to pass on? Did it come from the church that they probably visited on Sundays?One family left for a life in North America.
Suggestions please.
Thanks
