Education
You spend a few years in the local elementary school.

Career Prospects
You follow your father into work at the age of 13 but you have an accident at work and are unable to continue. You're not able to stay as tenants and with no compensation to fall back on, you go first to a Salvation Army shelter and then to live in a workhouse.

Leisure Time
While in the cottage you spend time tending your vegetable patch. You're a member of your work cricket team which plays every weekend in summer. On bank holidays you enjoy visiting local country houses and gardens that are open to the public.

Living Conditions
Until your accident, you live free of rent in a tied cottage owned by your employer. It is a two up two down, with a privy shared by other families in the terrace. You're lucky, you eat well: your employer gives you allowances of wheat and potatoes and you grow vegetables and have a cow that produces fresh milk and cream.

Marital Relations
You get married when you're 18 but have no children.

World War One
You don't have to go to war because of your work injuries. You live into your fifties.
