This volume is an important study in demographic history. It draws
on the individual returns from the 1891, 1901 and 1911 censuses of
England and Wales, to which Garrett, Reid, Schurer and Szreter were
permitted access ahead of scheduled release dates. Using the
responses of the inhabitants of thirteen communities to the special
questions included in the 1911 'fertility' census, they consider
the interactions between the social, economic and physical
environments in which people lived and their family-building
experience and behaviour. Techniques and approaches based in
demography, history and geography enable the authors to re-examine
the declines in infant mortality and marital fertility which
occurred at the turn of the twentieth century. Comparisons are
drawn within and between white-collar, agricultural and industrial
communities, and the analyses, conducted at both local and national
level, lead to conclusions which challenge both contemporary and
current orthodoxies.
