Wrigley and R.S. Schofield.</h5><h3>Main Topics:</h3><h5>The data comprise aggregated monthly totals of baptisms, marriages and burials for 404 English parishes from the sixteenth to the nineteenth century. For each parish monthly and annual totals are provided, along with monthly and annual totals by decade. There are also monthly seasonality indexes by half-century. Where defective data have been replaced with corrected frequencies, the original data have also been reproduced. <br> <br> Summary information has also been provided about periods of epidemic mortality crisis in each parish, and the severity of the epidemic.<br> <br> There is also information about the characteristics of each of the parishes included in the study. These characteristics include: the parish's location, altitude, population in 1811, main farming and soil types, occupational structure, proximity to towns, representation in Parliament, and indicators of poverty, religious activity and the provision of education.<br> <br> Please note: this study does not include information on named individuals and would therefore not be useful for personal family history research.<br></h5> <h3>Coverage: </h3><h5> <i class='myclass'> Time Period Covered:</i> 1662 - 1811 Years for which there are data vary according to register survival. All parishes have uninterrupted data for the period 1662 to 1811, and many have data for earlier years. The last year that data is given for is 1839. <br><i class='myclass'>Country: </i> England <br><i class='myclass'>Geography: </i> Bedfordshire; Berkshire; Buckinghamshire; Cambridgeshire; Cheshire; Cumberland; Derbyshire; Devon; Dorset; Essex; Gloucestershire; Hampshire; Herefordshire; Hertfordshire; Huntingdonshire; Kent; Lancashire; Leicestershire; Lincolnshire; Middlesex; Norfolk; Northamptonshire; Northumberland; Nottinghamshire; Oxfordshire; Rutland; Shropshire; Somerset; Staffordshire; Suffolk; Surrey; Sussex; Warwickshire; Wiltshire; Yorkshire East Riding; Yorkshire North Riding; Yorkshire West Riding <br><i class='myclass'>Spatial Units: </i> Parishes <br><i class='myclass'>Observation Units: </i> Administrative units (geographical/political) <br><i class='myclass'>Kind of Data: </i> Textual data; Numeric data; Individual (micro) level; Aggregate (macro) level </h5> <h3>Universe Sampled: </h3><h5> <i class='myclass'>Location of Units of Observation:</i> Subnational <br><i class='myclass'>Population:</i> Baptisms, marriages and burials recorded in the parish registers of 404 parishes in England, 1662-1811. </h5> <h3>Methodology: </h3><h5> <i class='myclass'>Time Dimensions: </i> Time Series <br><i class='myclass'>Sampling Procedures: </i> No sampling (total universe) <br><i class='myclass'>Number of Units:</i> 404 (obtained) Parishes <br><i class='myclass'>Method of Data Collection: </i> Transcription of existing materials; Compilation or synthesis of existing material <br><i class='myclass'>Data Sources: </i> Parish registers </h5><h3>Language(s) of Written Materials: </h3> <h5>Study Description: English<br>Study Documentation: English<br></h5> <h3>Access: </h3><h5> <i class='myclass'>Access Conditions: </i> The depositor has specified that registration is required.
