Sources:

  1. 1891: Table 3, 'Ages of Males and females in Sanitary Areas'. A separate table was published for each of the 11 census divisions of England, and this transcription includes all data from each of these with the exception of the totals given for each division. These data were digitised by the Centre for Data Digitisation and Analysis, The Queen's University of Belfast.


Notes:

  1. This table currently holds data only for 1891, but the 1881 census also published age structure data for Sanitary Districts, in Table 6 of Vol. III, Age, Marriage, Occupation, Birth-place. Prior to this, similar data was published for Registration sub-Districts.
  2. The following districts were divided between two different Census Divisions, and consequently have two separate rows in the data:
    • Bristol USD: divided between West Midland and South Western.
    • Lewisham London Sanitary District: the Civil Parish of Penge was in the South Eastern Division, and the remainder in London.
    • Mossley USD: divided between North Western and Yorkshire.
    • Oxford USD: divided between South Eastern and South Midland.
    • Stockton on Tees USD: divided between Northern and Yorkshire.
    • Todmorden USD: divided between North Western and Yorkshire.
    Because of these rows, the data must be grouped by g_unit to extract overall figures for whole Districts.


Checking:

  1. The numeric data was verified for males and for females for each case by summing each 5 year age grouping and comparing the sum with total males or total females as recorded in the original table. The yearly age group data for male and female children under 5 was similarly verified for each case by summing these 5 fields and comparing them with a separate field giving the total males or females aged under 5 years.
  2. One row fails the above checks, and explains why there is not a check constraint on the main set of mail categories: the listed total male population of Mottram in Longdendale USD in the North Western Division was 1,530, but the individual categories sum only to 1,529.

Columns within table:

ColumnTypeContents
year Integer number. Year in which census was taken. This is currently always 1891.
cen_div Text string (max.len.=64). Name of Census Division in which the Sanitary District was located.
reg_cnty Text string (max.len.=28). Name of the Registration County containing the District. NB this information was added by Humphrey Southall in December 2003 to assist in cross-checking the data against the age_reg table, and was done mainly from the par_1891 table.
san_dist Text string (max.len.=84). Name of the Sanitary District.
san_type Text string (max.len.=14). Type of Sanitary District: 'USD'= Urban, 'RSD'= Rural, 'Lon_SDist' = London (sanitary) District.
part_of Text string (max.len.=8). Flag field, containing 'P' when the district had parts listed in two separate Divisions, and null otherwise.
