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…

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…
Mortality, Work and Migration. A Consideration of Age-specific Mortality from Tuberculosis in Scotland, 1861-1901
This paper provides an examination into some of the most enduring debates regarding tuberculosis mortality during the nineteenth century: those related to gender, geographic and temporal variations. We use populations reconstructed from individual census and civil register data for the period 1861 to 1901, comparing a growing urban area with a declining rural area, both with around 20,000 inhabitants in 1861. Our analysis shows that among young a…
Doctors and the causes of neonatal death in Scotland in the second half of the nineteenth century
Cet article examine les causes de la mortalité néonatale dans deux communautés très différentes de l’Écosse de la seconde moitié du xix e siècle. Les certificats de décès individuels permettent la comparaison des causes de décès telles qu’elles sont enregistrées par différents médecins et par d’autres informateurs. L’article conclut que la plupart des médecins offraient presque toujours une explication de la mort à consonance médicale, mais elle …

Vulnerability among illegitimate children in nineteenth century Scotland
Resume Les enfants naturels forment, comme on sait, un groupe particulierement vulnerable, mais les raisons en sont encore mysterieuses. Cet article utilise des registres demographiques longitudinaux (obtenus en croisant les donnees des registres d’etat civil avec celles des recensements decennaux de la periode 1861-1901) portant sur l’ile ecossaise de Skye pour enqueter sur le niveau et les causes du desavantage dont souffraient les enfants ille…

Changing Family Size in England and Wales
This volume is an important study in demographic history. It draws on the individual returns from the 1891, 1901 and 1911 censuses of England and Wales, to which Garrett, Reid, Schürer and Szreter were permitted access ahead of scheduled release dates. Using the responses of the inhabitants of thirteen communities to the special questions included in the 1911 'fertility' census, they consider the interactions between the social, economic and phys…
Reproduction, Compositional Demography, and Economic Growth
This article offers a radical reinterpretation of the chronology of control over reproduction in England's history. It argues that, as a result of post-World War II policy preoccupations, there has been too narrow a focus in the literature on the significance of reductions in marital fertility. In England's case this is conventionally dated to have occurred from 1876, long after the industrial revolution. With a wider angle focus on "reproduction…
