	However, family structures also differed from area to area. In contrast to the country side, in the city centre and rich areas the 'extended family'-style was more common [on the contrary, according to Lawrence Stone: kinship in the country, nuclear family in the city.

Another reason was the age of marriage - in the country, men and women got married at a far older age than in the city [source?? Stone claims that the marriage age depended on one's class].
