1851 Census : Berkhamsted Superintendent Registrar's District, Hertfordshire Goose, N. R. UK Data Service 1999 Issued: 1999 urn:Population, economy and family structure in Hertfordshire in 1851 urn:Participatory and Collaborative Research in English Regional and Local History: the Hertfordshire Historical Resources Project The aim of this project was to analyse population, economy and social and family structure in mid-19th century Hertfordshire, in comparative perspective.<br> The 1851 census was the first to provide details of both county and town or parish of birth of each individual, whilst clearer instructions were provided for the recording of occupations, the work of members of the head's family and for recording details of farm size and agricultural labour force. There is therefore a wealth of economic, social and demographic information contained in the 1851 census, whilst its consistent and highly structured format renders it ideally suited to treatment by database management systems.
