>So I thought I would turn to you, since you really do have a wealth of 
>knowledge of the the time period I'm presently researching. I have a man, 
>born 1550 in Dorset, England. His name is David Whitmarsh, but his name 
>also appears as Whitmarke, Whitmarcke, Whytemark and Whitmarsk. He marries 
>in 1594, seemingly for the first time, to a lady who is not named at this 
>time. In 1595, they have their first child, a son, named John, who will 
>marry, have children, emigrate to America and die by 1644. Our David will 
>die at the age of 73, in 1623. He and his wife probably had several other 
>children, but I have no information about that at the moment. What I'm most 
>interested in is what kind of world David was born into, lived in and died 
>in. What might his life have been like? I have no idea what his occupation 
>was, and that limits the details I can add to his life, but there are 
>matters like daily living, politics, and even why would a man wait til he 
>was 44 years old to marry?
>
>If you have knowledge of anyone in the kingdom who plays a man of the 
>mid-16th century in lower England (Weymouth, to be exact), could you put me 
>in touch with him? Perhaps he would be able to supply what detail you and I 
>can't iron out.
