The use of nineteenth-century data to investigate local migration
The use of nineteenth-century data to investigate local migration
This paper presents an analysis of migration between 1851 and 1861 in four small areas of rural England which were characterised by different social and economic conditions. The analysis makes use of data from the census enumerators' books (CEBs) but is aggregative in form, avoiding the extremely time-consuming use of record linkage of individual-level data. The next section introduces the four study areas and describes the differences in their social, economic and occupation structure. Following this, I apply the method used by Lawton to the four areas to establish overall rates of net migration and natural increase. The paper then describes a more detailed approach to the estimation of migration which uses cohort survival probabilities. In the final section the results of this analysis are related to the local economy and society the four areas.

Abstract
This paper presents an analysis of migration between 1851 and 1861 in four small areas of rural England which were characterised by different social and economic conditions. The analysis makes use of data from the census enumerators' books (CEBs) but is aggregative in form, avoiding the extremely time-consuming use of record linkage of individual-level data. The next section introduces the four study areas and describes the differences in their social, economic and occupation structure. Following this, I apply the method used by Lawton to the four areas to establish overall rates of net migration and natural increase. The paper then describes a more detailed approach to the estimation of migration which uses cohort survival probabilities. In the final section the results of this analysis are related to the local economy and society the four areas.
