nCube definition


Although the Agricultural Census reported on the same lists of counties and parishes as other reports, like the Census of Population, the acreages differ because the Agricultural Census usually included the whole of a farm within the parish in which the farmhouse was located. In mapping the 1801 Crop Returns, we use parish acreages from the 1831 Census of Population, if available, and otherwise the 1851 Census of Population. For counties in 1801, we include only the acreages of parishes which are included in the ...


returns and for which we have been able to find an acreage as these are the most appropriate areas to use as divisors if rates are to be computed relative to the total area of the unit, rather than the farmed area. Where available the total figure for the unit area excluding water is used here.
