This study lies at the intersection of three principal areas of
social history: demography, religion, and quantitative methods. It
is a microanalysis of an English population at the level of the
Anglican parish, during the era of the evangelical revival, which
includes, unusually, Protestant dissenters from the Established
church, in this case Particular Baptists, who were moderate
Calvinists. It goes a step beyond previous studies by giving
Anglicans and Dissenters co-equal status in a comparative
demographic analysis and by demonstrating how religious values
informed procreative activity. It does so through a combination of
advanced statistical methodologies and an innovative treatment of
data collection forms as readable texts. The study concludes that
the likelihood of another birth increased following a religious
conversion experience, especially among both Anglican and Baptist
wives following marriage. Mortality too had a less constraining
effect on procreative activity which, in conformity with the
English experience, was driven largely by fertility.
