Appendix 1 -
The
assessment of census information
The industrial classifications used
in this essay are based upon Charles Booth’s scheme of 1881, as
described and illustrated in part two and
appendices D and E of chapter six (written by W.A. Armstrong) in E.A.
Wrigley, op.cit., pp. 226-310.
The social classes are calculated according to the
Registrar-General’s 1951 classification, as outlined in the first part of the aforementioned chapter, pp. 198-225.
The following qualifications may be made:
|
(a) |
Persons described as “retired”
have not been included with their former occupations or
social class; |
|
(b) |
Girls and female relatives living with
relations have not been regarded as domestic servants despite their sometimes being listed as
“servants”; |
|
(c) |
Fund-holders and annuitants have
been placed in social class two (1851 and 1861 only); |
|
(d) |
Paupers have not been classified by their
occupation unless otherwise stated, e.g. “Pauper Agricultural Labourer” has not been placed in
social class four; |
|
(e) |
If a woman is simply described
as “wife” or, for instance, “farmer’s wife”, her class has
not been assessed; |
|
(f) |
Gardeners who were not domestic servants
have been placed in “agriculture”, similarly, grooms and coachmen are placed in “transport” if
not domestic servants; |
|
(g) |
Needlewomen have been classified as
“manufacturing”, similarly shoebinders. Builder’s clerk in “building”, out servant in “domestic
service”, stable boy in “agricultural”, bar maid in “dealing”, dairymaid
in “agriculture” and boot fitter in
“manufacturing”; |
|
(h) |
Lunatic asylum inmates and
gypsies (1861 only) have not been considered statistically. |
