This was the final product of a project aimed at locating and mapping the boundaries of parish and sub-parish units of the mid-nineteenth century. The authors published the results in a series of electronic maps supplied on CD-ROM. Each one of these 115 maps contain a scanned 1 :1 mile OS New Popular Series map, overlain by the boundaries. A reference number can be found in each of the polygons that can then be used to look up information about that parish in gazetteer in an accompanying book.<br> <br> A major limitation of this work is that although the boundaries are in digital form, they are divided into 115 tiles, none of which have any spatial co-ordinate information inherent in them. This means that although the maps are invaluable as a reference tool, they can not be used together within a GIS to select, analyse and present historic information.<br> <br> We have therefore created a single digital map of the boundaries to provide a single, continuous coverage of polygons, each of which contain the information provided by Kain and Oliver in their accompanying book. This information includes the parish name, Ancient County, and a reference number that coincides with entries for that parish in the 1851 census report.<br> <br> It is recommended that users also order disc 1 of study 4348; Historic Parishes of England and Wales : an Electronic Map of Boundaries before 1850 with a Gazetteer and Metadata <br> <br> <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> <br></h5> <h3>Coverage: </h3><h5> <i class='myclass'> Time Period Covered:</i> 1500 - 1850 <br><i class='myclass'>Dates of Fieldwork: </i> 01 April 2002 - 31 December 2002 <br><i class='myclass'>Country: </i> England and Wales <br><i class='myclass'>Spatial Units: </i> County, parish and sub-parish as reported in the 1851 census report <br><i class='myclass'>Observation Units: </i> Administrative units (geographical/political) <br><i class='myclass'>Kind of Data: </i> Textual data; Numeric data; Image </h5> <h3>Universe Sampled: </h3><h5> <i class='myclass'>Location of Units of Observation:</i> Cross-national; National; Subnational <br><i class='myclass'>Population:</i> County, parish and sub-parish as reported in the 1851 census report </h5> <h3>Methodology: </h3><h5> <i class='myclass'>Time Dimensions: </i> Cross-sectional (one-time) study <br><i class='myclass'>Sampling Procedures: </i> No sampling (total universe) <br><i class='myclass'>Method of Data Collection: </i> Conversion of electronic boundaries to GIS format <br><i class='myclass'>Data Sources: </i> Kain, R.J.P., and Oliver, R.R.
