Local Communities in the Victorian Census Enumerators' Books

by Dennis Mills (Editor), Kevin Schurer (Editor)

One of the key documentary sources for the study of the Victorian period, the census enumerators’ books contain key statistics on virtually every parish and settlement in England and Wales. With information on named individuals, along with families and households, this resource forms a central core of data for local, community-based studies for the Victorian period. Topics such as the enumeration process, employment and occupations, migration and population turnover, and residential patterns are all introduced with explanations on the census enumerators’ relation to the themes at hand.
