From their original purpose to assess how many men were fit for military duty in the Napoleonic wars, to being a necessary tool for determining government policy, the 10-yearly census return is a fascinating snapshot of the state of the population on a particular moment in each decade. The growth of Britain’s cities; the movement of population away from the countryside; the variety of people’s occupations; their way of life; and what religious beliefs they hold are all contained within the census reports. With the imminent publication of the 1921 census results, this will prove a useful introduction, both for those interested in general trends in social history, and those researching family history.Country/Region of Manufacture: GBBook Series: Shire LibraryGenre: HistoryTopic: Home Garden & PetsRelease Year: 2021 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
