- Contents:
- Birthplace statistics for residents of England and Wales in 1891
- Approx. number of rows:
- 2,597
- Table type:
- Raw Data
- Documentation Author:
- Paul Ell
- Geography:
- Reporting units are identified by:
Registration County
- Chronology:
-
The data are for the single year 1891.
Sources:
- This table was transcribed from the table entitled
'Distribution of the Enumerated Natives of the Registration Division and County'.
- These data were computerised by the Centre for Data Digitisation and Analysis.
- There are 11 tables, one for each of the census divisions in England and Wales.
- The table does not include footnotes or endnotes.
Notes:
- The original table was organised with columns giving the county of birth
in 1891 and rows giving the county of residence, but have been re-organised here
so that both counties appear as values in columns.
- The birthplace data in 1891 is limited. It records, by registration county, birthplace. Data on those born outside England and Wales is not given. Whereas in previous years London census division data was broken down by county, and in some cases registration district, 1891 includes data for the whole census division only both in terms of place of residence and birthplace.
- Table was renamed from mig_1891 when transferred from the Oracle server.
- This table originally had the birthplace and location columns identified the wrong way round.
Now checked against the original reports and amended to be correct.
Checking:
- The printed table contains birthplace county total which were checked by summing place or residence.
- No matching to the AUO gazetteer has been attempted.
These files have been altered to run on Postgres, but otherwise are exactly
the same as they were on the oracle server.
