The project aims to trace the emergence of the north-south divide in Britain and to provide a synoptic view of the human geography of Britain at sub-county scales.

The Great Britain Historical GIS Project has also produced digitised boundary data, which can be obtained from the UK Data Service Census Support service. Further information is available at <a href="http:\\census.ukdataservice.ac.uk" title="UK Data Service Census Support" target="_blank">census.ukdataservice.ac.uk</a>Main Topics: The Great Britain Historical Database is a large database of British nineteenth and twentieth-century statistics. Where practical the referencing of spatial units has been integrated, data for different dates have been assembled into single tables. The Great Britain Historical Database currently contains : <ul><li>Statistics from the 1861 Census and the Registrar General's reports, 1851-1861 </li><li>Employment statistics from the census, 1841-1931 </li><li>Demographic statistics from the census, 1841-1931 </li><li>Mortality statistics from the Registrar General's reports, 1861-1920 </li><li>Marriage statistics from the Registrar General's reports, 1841-1870 </li><li>Trade union statistics for the Amalgamated Society of Engineers (ASE), 1851-1918 </li><li>Trade union statistics for the Amalgamated Society of Carpenters and Joiners (ASCJ), 1863-1912 </li><li>Official poor law statistics, 1859-1915 and 1919-1939 </li><li>Wage statistics, 1845-1906 </li><li>Hours of work statistics, 1900-1913 </li><li>Small debt statistics from county courts, 1847-1913 and 1938 </li></ul>There are five tables in this part of the Great Britain Historical Database : Rd_pop holds population totals for all registration districts in England and Wales for each census from 1841 to 1911. Pop_chan holds details of population changes between censuses for all registration districts in England and Wales for each inter-censal period from 1851-1861 to 1901-1911. Age_sex holds the number of males and females in 5 year age groups for all registration districts in England and Wales for each census from 1851 to 1911, and for all local government districts for each census from 1921 to 1931. Age_1901 holds a full transcript of the number of males and females in 5 year age groups for all registration districts in England and Wales for the 1901 census with greater detail for ages 13 to 20. Rd_gaz converts the names of registration districts which appear in the database into the forms used in the GIS. Rd_gis holds the names and counties of registration districts as they appear in the GIS, and is used for checking names and constructing rd_gaz. Please note: this study does not include information on named individuals and would therefore not be useful for personal family history research. 1977 - 199601 January 197701 January 1996 England and Wales NationalCensus dataDemographic dataAdministrative units (geographical/political) Administrative units in the British Isles.
