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…
Creating a typology of parishes in England and Wales
The paper presents the application of principal component analysis and cluster analysis to historical individual level census data in order to explore social and economic variations and patterns in household structure across mid-Victorian England and Wales. Principal component analysis is used in order to identify and eliminate unimportant attributes within the data and the aggregation of the remaining attributes. By combining Kaiser’s rule and t…
Standardising and Coding Birthplace Strings and Occupational Titles in the British Censuses of 1851 to 1911
This article presents a technique of standardising and coding textual birthplace and occupation strings in the censuses of England and Wales and Scotland, 1851–1911. While the approaches for the two text strings are different, they are both based upon the integration of computer technologies, mathematical methods, and expert knowledge. Both processes are described formally using Structured Analysis and Design Technique methodology. The classifica…

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…
