Education
You leave school at 14.

Career Prospects
You work hard for ten years as a printer and you're eventually promoted to the position of manager.

Leisure Time
You support the Liberals and go to chapel where you hear sermons about the importance of improving the conditions of the working poor. Occasionally you go to the theatre – your wife loves musical comedies. More often, you go to the music hall with your family, where you love a good laugh and a sing along after a hard day's work. You take your family on one holiday a year: usually travelling by a train to a boarding house by the sea.

Living Conditions
You live in a terraced house near the centre of the city but you really want to move to one of the new detached villas further out of town. You employ one servant who comes to you for a couple of days a week to help with baking, laundry and house cleaning. You're vegetarian – your religious beliefs dictate that it's wrong to eat meat.

Marital Relations
You marry but your wife dies while giving birth to your second daughter. You have saved enough to give her a good burial.

Death
Despite bronchial problems, you're able to join the army in 1914. You die as a private soldier in 1917 at the Battle of Passchendaele.
