Demographic Processes in England and Wales, 1851-1911: Data and Model Estimates

The aims of the project were to examine and analyse demographic processes of fertility, nuptiality, marital fertility, mortality and migration during periods encompassing the demographic transition in England and Wales. In particular, the goal was to reveal underlying relationships between demographic processes in the context of changing socio-economic conditions. With this goal in mind, population, occupational, and education data were compilated, and demographic and statistical models were employed to estimate key measures and indicators of demographic change. The large majority of the data and estimates were compiled and made at the registration district level for the period 1851-1911. In addition decennial inter-county migration flows were estimated for the period 1851-1911.
