dc.description<p><span>This&nbsp;</span>collection&nbsp;<span>represents the data used to reconstruct the pre-Census population history of England by Wrigley and Schofield, in restructured form. It consists of counts of parish register events from 404 English sample parishes. These data were originally used to estimate national totals of births, deaths and marriages. From these population growth rates were derived and hence the overall English population in each year between 1539 and 1836, but these data are also relevant for local studies of particular parishes or regions, and for studies of mortality variations and crises, which was the purpose for which this restructuring was undertaken. This data collection contains tab-delimited text files of monthly and annual historical counts of baptisms, marriages and burials from parish registers in 404 English parishes, with missing data interpolated, for varying coverage periods in each parish, including a core period of 1662 to 1811.</span></p><p><span>Volunteer local historians counted events from accessible parish registers with apparently good coverage, from a list distributed by Tony Wrigley at CAMPOP. Counts were recorded on paper pro formas. These were digitised many years ago by CAMPOP into the Population History of England database. Quality checking of count accuracy per volunteer was performed by Roger Schofield and inaccurate contributions discarded. In their current restructured form these files were derived by Gill Newton at CAMPOP from the Population History of England database.<br></span></p>en
