This dataset is derived from a project designed to consider the cultural, economic and social impact of single women’s participation in money-lending in seventeenth century England.

Previous investigations of surviving probate documents in Lincolnshire and Cheshire have revealed a high percentage of single women engaged in credit provision, and this project was designed to broaden the picture of single women’s money lending in other areas.

The main aims of data collection were to consider the definitions applied to the probate documents of never married men and women, the extent and nature of their money lending, and how it fitted into their daily lives.

The Lincolnshire material also indicated that single men were also active in the provision of credit. Although the extent of their involvement is harder to establish since most were identified by their occupation rather than marital status, the project was concerned to compare their role with that of their female counterparts.

Further aspects of the project involved the examination of court records and primary printed material to establish the problems single women experienced as a result of their lending and how they were portrayed in the contemporary literature.


Main Topics:

The dataset contains probate material collected from the surviving records of single men and women in the Consistory Court of Norfolk during the seventeenth century. The definition ‘single’ refers to individuals who, as far as it is possible to tell, had never been married.

In addition to names and places, the dataset records: the nature and references of the documents consulted for each individual, evidence on status descriptions appended to different categories of document, evidence of livestock as a means of support, the total value of personal assets held, the nature of the debts listed and the amount of money owed to each testator.

BackgroundThe COVID-19 pandemic is an unprecedented global public health crisis that continues to exert immense pressure on healthcare and related professional staff and services. The impact on staff wellbeing is likely to be influenced by a combination of modifiable and non-modifiable factors.ObjectivesThe aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the self-reported wellbeing, resilience, and job satisfaction of National Health Service (NHS) and university staff working in the field of healthcare and medical research.MethodsWe conducted a cross sectional survey of NHS and UK university staff throughout the COVID-19 pandemic between May-November 2020. The anonymous and voluntary survey was disseminated through social media platforms, and via e-mail to members of professional and medical bodies. The data was analyzed using descriptive and regression (R) statistics.ResultsThe enjoyment of work and satisfaction outside of work was significantly negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic for all of staff groups independent of other variables. Furthermore, married women reporting significantly lower wellbeing than married men (P = 0.028). Additionally, the wellbeing of single females was significantly lower than both married women and men (P = 0.017 and P < 0.0001, respectively). Gender differences were also found in satisfaction outside of work, with women reporting higher satisfaction than men before the COVID-19 pandemic (P = 0.0002).ConclusionOur study confirms that the enjoyment of work and general satisfaction of staff members has been significantly affected by the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. Interestingly, being married appears to be a protective factor for wellbeing and resilience but the effect may be reversed for life satisfaction outside work. Our survey highlights the critical need for further research to examine gender differences using a wider range of methods.
