| Keywords: | OCCUPATIONS LABOUR FORCE TOWNS URBAN AREAS CENSUS RECORDS 1851 England |
| Description: | <P>Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.</P>These data were collected as part of a research project run by Dr Leigh Shaw-Taylor and Professor E.A. Wrigley and funded by the Economic and Social Research Council: Male occupational structure and economic growth in England 1750-1851 (RES-000-23-0131). <br> <br> The aim of this project was to reconstruct the evolution of England's male occupational structure from c.1750 to 1851. The underlying aim was to improve our understanding of the industrial revolution. The results of the project have not, at the time of writing, been published.<br> <B>Main Topics</B>:<BR> This data collection contains two files. Both of them derive from the tables of occupational data for English principal towns published in the 1851 census report. These tables reported occupations for males and females in two age ranges in 455 occupational categories. The main file, 1851 census occupations by pt (England).txt, contains counts for each recorded occupation by sex for the 72 principal towns. <br> The second file is a summary table containing the vertical totals printed in the report. Thus, 1851 census population data by pt (England).txt, contains the totals printed in the report of the numbers of males and females in the two age categories for each principal town. This collection contains male and female occupational data for each of Englands 72 principal towns published in the 1851 census report. It covers males and females 20 years of age and over and males and females under 20 years of age. <br> <br> Please note: this study does not include information on named individuals and would therefore not be useful for personal family history research.<br> <br> |
