This website exists to help people doing personal research projects on particular areas within a locality. So long as you are using our data for only a small number of units, you are not making money out of what you are doing, and you are not systematically re-publishing our data, you do not need to request permission from us, but you do need to acknowledge us as your source with the wording:
"This work is based on data provided through www.VisionofBritain.org.uk and uses historical material which is copyright of the Great Britain Historical GIS Project and the University of Portsmouth".
Where the above statement is included in a web page or similar online resource, the reference to "www.VisionofBritain.org.uk" must be a working hyperlink.
The published reports of the 1881 census provide occupational statistics only for counties and a small number of selected Sanitary Districts covering the largest towns. However, with the assistance of Essex University and the work of innumerable local historians coordinated by the Genealogical Society of Utah, we present here statistics created for us from the listings of individual people in the census enumerators' books, using the same detailed occupational classification as was used in the published reports. ...
These data are available for parishes and for Registration sub-Districts.
