Fixed vows, fluid times
In contrast to much of Europe, the first stages of modernization in rural Estonia did not bring an ‘opening’ of the marriage market. This article uses micro-level data from two parishes in southern Estonia, Helme and Paistu, to examine partner selection in rural Estonian society during the post-emancipation period (1834–1917). The study focuses on three characteristics: social origin, age, and place of birth. Contrary to trends in western and nor…
From Deathbed to Database Using ICD10h
This paper describes the development of, and principles behind, ICD10h, a system for the coding and categorisation of individual-level causes of death from 1855 to the present day. ICD10h provides an adaptation of the WHO's ICD10 (2016 version) which, by supplying additional codes for archaic terms together with a suggested categorisation, allows broad disease groups to be followed over time. It is a flexible system, which allows researchers to c…

Fatal Places? Contextual Effects on Infant and Child Mortality in Early Twentieth Century England and Wales
This paper takes, as its starting point, Preston and Haines’ observation in Fatal Years that social class was the most important influence on infant and child mortality in England and Wales in the early twentieth century. A subsequent study suggested that this could in part be due to the spatial distribution of the different classes across different types of place, and that some of the mortality differences by social class might actually reflect …
Social inequalities in famine mortality in the manorial system of the tsarist Russian province of Livland in the mid-1840s
By relying on longitudinal data on two rural parishes in the Russian Baltic province of Livland, the article analyses two questions concerning famine's short-run effects on mortality in a manorial system: (1) whether there is evidence of a social gradient in mortality during the famine of 1844-6 and (2) whether the manors could protect the peasants against the hardships. The analysis reveals that neither the status of a farmer peasant nor the lan…
Life expectancy changes since Covid-19
The COVID-19 pandemic triggered an unprecedented rise in mortality that translated into life expectancy losses around the world, with only a few exceptions. We estimate life expectancy changes in 29 countries since 2020 (including most of Europe, the United States and Chile), attribute them to mortality changes by age group and compare them with historic life expectancy shocks. Our results show divergence in mortality impacts of the pandemic in 2…
The effect of parental loss on child survival in nineteenth century rural Estonia
This article explores the impact of parental loss and subsequent remarriage on child survival in the nineteenth century, by drawing on the example of post-emancipation rural Estonia. We utilize a novel, individual-level longitudinal dataset combining data from parish registers, poll-tax lists and migrant listings from 1826 to 1891, to examine: (1) how parental loss effects were differentiated by the gender of the parent; (2) if the loss of parent…
Height and health in late eighteenth-century England
Adult stature has become a widely used indicator of childhood nutritional status in historical populations and may provide insights into health inequalities that are not discernible in mortality rates. However, most pre-twentieth-century British data on heights suffer from selection biases. Here we present unique evidence on heights of adult males by occupation from an unbiased sample of adult males in Dorset in 1798–99. The mean height of fully …
Socio-economic status and fertility in an urban context at the end of the nineteenth century
The topic of socio-economic fertility differences and its causes during the demographic transition has received a significant amount of attention in historical demography. With few exceptions, however, the previous studies have dealt with Western Europe. This paper increases the geographic range of the literature and investigates the influence of socio-economic status on marital fertility in an urban population of Tartu, a mid-sized university to…
Revisiting the Fertility Transition in England and Wales
We use individual-level census data for England and Wales for the period 1851–1911 to investigate the interplay between social class and geographical context determining patterns of childbearing during the fertility transition. We also consider the effect of spatial mobility or lifetime migration on individual fertility behavior in the early phases of demographic modernization. Prior research on the fertility transition in England and Wales has d…
Adapting the Own Children Method to allow comparison of fertility between populations with different marriage regimes
The Own Children Method (OCM) is an indirect procedure for deriving age-specific fertility rates and total fertility from children living with their mothers at a census or survey. The method was designed primarily for the calculation of overall fertility, although there are variants that allow the calculation of marital fertility. In this paper we argue that the standard variants for calculating marital fertility can produce misleading results an…
Infant and child mortality by socio-economic status in early nineteenth-century England
Historical relationships between socio-economic status and mortality remain poorly understood. This is particularly the case in England, due to a lack of status indicators in available sources especially beforec. 1850. This study uses the paternal occupational descriptors routinely recorded in Anglican baptism registers from 1813-37 to compare infant and early childhood mortality by social status. The sample consists of eight of the Cambridge Gro…
Educational heterogamy during the early phase of the educational expansion
From a historical perspective, the transition from a pre-industrial to a modern society is associated with increasing social status heterogamy. As individualsâ acquired characteristics became more important for partner selection than inherited class status
Household and family structure in England and Wales (1851–1911)
This article produces the first findings on changes in household and family structure in England and Wales during 1851–1911, using the recently available Integrated Census Microdata (I-CeM) – a complete count database of individual-level data extending to some 188 million records. As such, it extends and updates the important overview article published in Continuity and Change by Michael Anderson in 1988. The I-CeM data shed new light on transiti…

Socioeconomic and cultural differentials in mortality in a late 19th century urban setting
An expanding literature documents historical linkages between socioeconomic and cultural disparities and survival. The evidence originates mainly from studies of Western Europe and North America, but we know less about the history of mortality differential
The impact of water supply and sanitation on infant mortality
Evidence from a number of historical studies has demonstrated a strong impact of the provision of clean water on mortality risks, while no clear effect has been reported in others. We investigated the relationship between water supply, sanitation, and infant survival in Tartu, a university town in Estonia, 1897-1900. Based on data from parish registers, which were linked to the first census of the Russian Empire, the analysis reveals a clear disa…
