Abstract In 2012, a skeleton was excavated at the presumed site of Grey Friars friary in Leicester, last-known resting place King Richard III. Archaeological, osteological and radiocarbon dating data were consistent with these being his remains. Here we report DNA analyses both skeletal remains living relatives We find perfect mitochondrial match between sequence obtained from one relative, single-base substitution when compared second relative. Y-chromosome haplotypes male-line do not...
Abstract This article produces the first findings on changes in household and family structure England Wales during 1851–1911, using recently available Integrated Census Microdata (I-CeM) – a complete count database of individual-level data extending to some 188 million records. As such, it extends updates important overview published Continuity Change by Michael Anderson 1988. The I-CeM shed new light transitions life this period, illustrating both continuities change number key areas:...

This article uses census data for England and Wales covering the period 1851–1911 to provide new insights into patterns of migration London. It examines several related themes including role played in London's growth during this period, age gender differentials distance travelled. Calculating net rates, demonstrates that after 30, those born outside London, more left Capital than came, yet over time an increasing proportion migrant population was retained. The family migrants fluctuated...
The number of data collections produced in the social sciences prohibits archiving every scientific study. It is therefore necessary to make decisions regarding what can be preserved and why it should preserved. This paper reviews processes used by two archives, one from United States Kingdom, illustrate how are selected for archiving, they appraised, steps required retain usefulness future use. also presents new initiatives that seek encourage an increase long-term preservation digital resources.
This article presents a technique of standardising and coding textual birthplace occupation strings in the censuses England Wales Scotland, 1851–1911. While approaches for two text are different, they both based upon integration computer technologies, mathematical methods, expert knowledge. Both processes described formally using Structured Analysis Design Technique methodology. The classification occupations is defined by algorithms on statistical decision theory order to allocate codes...
We use individual-level census data for England and Wales the period 1851-1911 to investigate interplay between social class geographical context determining patterns of childbearing during fertility transition. also consider effect spatial mobility or lifetime migration on individual behavior in early phases demographic modernization. Prior research transition has demonstrated substantial variation levels declines by different groups; however, these findings were generally reported at a...
The Own Children Method (OCM) is an indirect procedure for deriving age-specific fertility rates and total from children living with their mothers at a census or survey. method was designed primarily the calculation of overall fertility, although there are variants that allow marital fertility. In this paper we argue standard calculating can produce misleading results require strong assumptions, particularly when applied to social spatial subgroups. We present two new fertility: first these...
Abstract This paper takes, as its starting point, Preston and Haines’ observation in Fatal Years that social class was the most important influence on infant child mortality England Wales early twentieth century. A subsequent study suggested this could part be due to spatial distribution of different classes across types place, some differences by might actually reflect contextual effects healthy unhealthy places. Although line argument has received a considerable amount attention health...

 The paper presents the application of principal component analysis and cluster to historical individual level census data in order explore social economic variations patterns household structure across mid-Victorian England Wales. Principal is used identify eliminate unimportant attributes within aggregation remaining attributes. By combining Kaiser’s rule Broken-stick model, four components are selected for subsequent modelling. Cluster associations data. A hierarchy structures...
For almost two centuries social theorists have argued that the fundamental difference in structure between Europe and North America arises from greater economic geographic mobility America. We study three countries across generations using machine learning techniques to create panels of individuals linked censuses thirty years apart (1850–1880, 1880–1910). This paper reports on a preliminary analysis 1850 1880, finding was markedly higher United States Canada, compared Great Britain.

Description and documentation is one of the major prerequisites for disseminating exchanging machine-readable historical sources data. This proposal description items an attempt standardizing information requirements in research; it does not give recommendations all possible needs, but instead attempts to set essential parameters describing documenting In appendix this proposal, example using 1851 Census England Wales given provide a detailed illustration proposal.
