Bequests to widows and their property in early modern England
This paper analyses those wills made by persons with the surname Farrer between 1500 and 1849 that mention both a widow and children in order to see how different testators divided their property when the interests of more than one family member had to be considered. It is argued that the economic position of women following widowhood was weaker in the eighteenth century than it had been earlier. In the eighteenth century, fewer widows were appoi…
Economic collaboration of family members within and beyond households in English society, 1600–2000
This article evaluates the extent of economic support provided by the family in English society. The first issue addressed is the importance given to relationships between family members both by contemporaries and by historians when attempting to distinguish different types of household. Following sections of the article discuss the role of households in redistributing income from the better-paid to the less well-paid or non-earners and the signi…

Widows and unmarried women as taxpayers in England before 1800
A variety of taxes levied at various dates between the 1540s and the early nineteenth century are analysed to ascertain whether the frequency with which widows and unmarried women are listed as taxpayers matches the ratio between the numbers of widows and unmarried women and the number of men in the adult population. Examination of the tax assessments indicates that the proportion of taxpayers who were women often fell well below their proportion…
Family relationships in comic postcards 1900–1930
This paper discusses how comic postcards circulating in Europe and North America between 1900 and 1930 featured various aspects of family life. A range of situations were considered amusing involving babies, children, parents, mothers-in-law, servants and the elderly. The four situations that were pictured most frequently were flirtations, fertility, the struggle between husband and wife for dominance in the household, and courtship. The presence…
Domestic servants in comparative perspective

English population statistics before 1800
The first national census of the British population was organized in 1801; the civil registration of births, marriages, and deaths commenced in 1837; and the first tentative attempt by the state to compile statistics on migration was included in the census of 1841. Prior to 1801, the chief source of information on the demography of the country was provided by the clergy's registration of baptisms, marriages, and burials that had occurred in their…

Elderly widows and widowers and their coresidents in late 19th- and early 20th-century England and Wales
This article examines the family and household patterns of widowers and widows in England and Wales between 1891 and 1921 in terms of the proportion of widowers and widows who lived with never- or ever-married children, servants, or inmates, with nonrelatives only, or on their own. The absence of marked change between 1891 and 1921 in the frequency with which elderly widowers and widows lived with a married or never-married child are in line with…
The family circumstances of women migrating permanently or temporarily to Sundsvall in the nineteenth century
The aim of this article is to identify the factors which lead some women to migrate to the town of Sundsvall in northern Sweden. Analysis of the life histories of a cohort of women bom between 1815 and 1819 in parishes close to Sundsvall revealed that even before the middle of the nineteenth century, Sundsvall was beginning to emerge as an important destination but that it was service, rather than marriage, that motivated migration. It was also e…
Beyond the Household
Autobiographies and diaries have furnished many historians, including those who otherwise eschew qualitative data, with an apposite quote with which to launch their papers. Other historians select extracts from such sources to add colour to arguments advanced initially from the analysis of parish registers or court records. As a major source in their own right, diaries, autobiographies and letters provide the historian with valuable insights into…
Marriage, residence, and occupational choices of senior and junior siblings in the english past
Even when parents had few resources to transfer to their children, the dynamics of the family life-cycle may serve to advance the occupational, residence and marriage careers of certain children and hinder the careers of others. This hypothesis is tested by calculating for a number of small English communities in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries the proportions of children, ranked according to their position in the birth order at the time …

Dimensions of inequalities among siblings
In July 1991, thirty-five scholars met at the fourteenth-century Certosa of Pontignano in Siena for a three-day colloquium (jointly sponsored by the Economic and Social Research Council, the Centre Nationale de la Recherche Scientifique and the Università degli Studi di Siena) on the topic of relationships between cadets et aînés , or younger and elder siblings. The geographical interests of the participants ranged from the frontier of the North …
The Upheaval of War. Family, Work and Welfare in Europe, 1914-1918
Les relations entre générations en Europe autrefois
On a souvent supposé que les liens familiaux s'étaient affaiblis au fil des temps. A la fin du siècle dernier, on a émis cette hypothèse. Cependant, dans la réalité, l'opposition entre passé et présent n'est pas aussi forte et on trouve le contraire de ce qu'on attendait. Par exemple, en 1962, à Swansea, dans le sud des Galles, parents et enfants mariés avaient plus de chances de partager le même foyer qu'au XVIIIe siècle, en Angleterre. Dans le …

Leaving Home and Living Alone
This paper provides a temporal and spatial perspective on a variety of household forms in present-day Europe. Compared with the situation in pre-industrial England, many more people now live on their own but there are some surprising continuities in household forms. Notably, pre-industrial households were no more likely than present-day ones to include distant relatives, and the recent rise in the proportion of one-person families has simply retu…
Family Forms in Historic Europe
The family forms of historic Europe have been fascinating in their variety. Their importance for the historical development of our continent would be difficult to exaggerate; for our relationship with the peoples of the other continents of the world as well. This book is an attempt to recover the different familial systems and compare them with one another. The studies range from Russia, Poland, Hungary and Austria to Scandinavia, Flanders and Br…

From stem family to nuclear family
Pendant les deux derniers siècles de l'Ancien Régime, et jusqu'à la fin du XVIII e siècle, en Haute-Provence orientale, comme dans beaucoup d'autres régions de la France méridionale, le système familial adopté par les populations rurales est celui de la famille-souche. L'heritier unique choisi pour succéder à ses parents est un garçon, le plus souvent aîné. Le père garde la direction de la maison jusqu'à sa mort. De ce système familial résulte l'…

Household and Family in Past Times
This is an extremely important collection of essays in historical social structure. The volume represents the first attempt to examine in historical and comparative terms the general belief that in the past all families were larger than they are today; that the nuclear family of man, wife and children living alone is particularly characteristic of the present time and came into being with the arrival of industry.

Inferring differential neglect of females from mortality data
The inferior status of girls to boys meant that their death rate was higher ; this can be attributed to either conscious or unconscious negligence on the part of parents (to be distinguished from deliberate infanticide). Previous studies dealing with this question tended to be too general ; death rates for boys and girls vary from one community to another, therefore great attention must be paid to specific localities. Factors such as demographic …
Women alone in English society
Les proportions de femmes dirigeant un ménage, vivant seules ou restées célibataires sont des éléments-clé de la structure sociale de toute société. La présente étude veut établir combien de femmes étaient à la tête d'un foyer dans l'Angleterre pré-industrielle ; elle recherche également combien de veuves, à l'opposé des veufs, vivaient seules, ou, alternativement, avec le ménage de leurs enfants. Des comparaisons sont proposées entre l'Angleterr…

Does owning real property influence the form of the household? An example from rural West Flanders
Marriage and inheritance In a paper written in 1972 Lutz Berkner listed the factors that might prevent inheritance customs from influencing the form of the household. Some factors made inheritance lore inoperative, for example if the family had no property or only ‘movables’, in which case there would be no link between their possession and a particular residence; or if land was held on a temporary lease. On the other hand, there were certain fac…
The household
The basic structure of English households in the pre-industrial era is now well known. Households were small. The majority contained fewer than five persons, and membership was customarily confined to parents and their unmarried children. If the family was sufficiently wealthy, or involved in farming or trade, then the household might well contain servants, but there were remarkably few complex households containing grandparents, parents, and gra…
The composition of households in a population of 6 men to 10 women
Introduction Cities by their very size pose considerable problems for those who wish to understand their social structure. The present study involves a detailed examination of the household and familial patterns of the inhabitants of the south-east sector of Bruges at the end of the Napoleonic period. Bruges was chosen because it is known to have exhibited an extreme imbalance between the sexes, a situation that the Napoleonic Wars had only serve…
