  • Social class differentials in infant mortality, Ipswich 1871–1909

    Open AccessEllen Garrett, Chris GalleyARTICLEContinuity and Change2024

    Class differentials in infant mortality were first established for England and Wales following analysis of answers given to the 1911 census. While estimates of these differentials have been made for earlier periods using indirect methods, for the first time this article provides class-specific infant mortality rates based on births and infant deaths in a large English town. Using information provided in Ipswich’s smallpox vaccination registers fo…

  • Bridging the gap

    Chris Galley, Nicola SheltonARTICLEPopulation Studies2001Citada por: 3Referencias: 23

    Much effort has been expended in analysing a small sample of parish registers to produce national estimates of infant mortality for the period 1570-1840. However, in an age when inter-parish variations in infant mortality were considerable, national trends often obscured local and regional differences. By analysing data from the initial years of Civil Registration (1839-1846) together with infant mortality rates from a range of parishes, it is po…

  • A Model of Early Modern Urban Demography

    Chris GalleyARTICLEThe Economic History Review1995Citada por: 8Referencias: 9

    Early modern towns are often said to have experienced natural population decrease. Most historians explain this phenomenon by high levels of urban mortality or by shifts in rural-urban migration. Data presented for York [England] during the period 1561-1700 show that existing models of urban demography provide only a partial explanation of that citys demography. An alternative model is therefore presented; one where overall levels of urban fertil…

  • Urban-rural Differentials in Infant Mortality in Victorian England

    Naomi Williams, Chris GalleyARTICLEPopulation Studies1995Citada por: 26

    This paper examines the magnitude of urban-rural differentials in infant mortality in England during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and also compares the timing of decline for a selection of towns of varying size, and their immediate rural hinterlands. Most towns continued to experience short-term fluctuations in infant mortality until the very end of the nineteenth century; however, in some of the adjacent rural communities--where …

  • A Never-ending Succession of Epidemics? Mortality in Early-Modern York

    Chris GalleyARTICLESocial History of Medicine1994Citada por: 3

    Early-modern cities are often perceived to be centres of high mortality and under constant siege from a barrage of epidemics. However, few urban mortality rates have been calculated and by employing parish register evidence from the regional capital of York, the thesis that the city was subjected to continual sudden increases in mortality can be firmly rejected. Infant mortality was high but remained virtually constant between 1561 and 1700. Abou…
