Wrigley and funded by the Economic and Social Research Council: Male occupational structure and economic growth in England 1750-1851 (RES-000-23-0131). The aim of this project was to reconstruct the evolution of England's male occupational structure from c.1750 to 1851. The underlying aim was to improve our understanding of the industrial revolution. The results of the project have not, at the time of writing, been published. Main Topics: This data collection consists of 23 files. Each of them pertains to one of Englands ancient counties. In every case the file contains male occupational data abstracted from virtually all the surviving Anglican baptism registers for that county for the period 1813-20 In the case of eight counties (Bedfordshire, Cheshire, Durham, Lancashire, City and Ainsty of the City of York and the three Ridings of Yorkshire) the files also contain occupational data culled from Anglican baptism registers for one, and sometimes two, eight-year periods between 1740 and 1799. This represents virtually all the surviving occupational data that met certain data quality requirements. These data are derived from the occupations of fathers recorded in Anglican parish registers at the baptism of a child. From 1813, under the terms of Rose's Act it was a legal requirement to record the fathers occupation and practice almost universally conformed to the letter of the law. Hence virtually complete geographical coverage of Anglican baptism registers is possible for this period. For the period 1740 to 1799 coverage is incomplete. This data collection needs to be distinguished from the related data collection entitled Male occupational data from English parish registers c.1750-1820 (raw data) (SN 5397). That data collection consists of raw data as collected. This data collection consists of data that has been processed and summarised. Please note: this study does not include information on named individuals and would therefore not be useful for personal family history research. 01 March 2003 - 30 May 200601 March 200330 May 2006 England BedfordshireBuckinghamshireCambridgeshireCheshireCornwallDevonDurham (County)HertfordshireHuntingdonshireLancashireLeicestershireMiddlesexNorthamptonshireNorthumberlandOxfordshireRutlandWestmorlandWorcestershireYorkshire IndividualsSubnational Male occupational data registers derived and edited from English Parish Registers between 1698 and 1820 Numeric Repeated cross-sectional study Purposive selection/case studies Transcription of existing materials The Data Collection is available to UK Data Service registered users subject to the <a href="https://ukdataservice.ac.uk/app/uploads/cd137-enduserlicence.pdf" target="_blank">End User Licence Agreement</a>.Commercial use of the data requires approval from the data owner or their nominee.
