nCube definition


The 1831 census provided information at parish-level on the number of males aged over 20 in each of nine occupational categories (plus numbers of male servants under 20, and female servants). These are the most detailed Census parish-level occupational data ever published. Information on the precise occupations of workers in retail trade and handicrafts was also published at county-level.
