nCube definition
The 1831 census provides information, down to parish-level, on the
occupations of males aged over 20 using nine categories.
Here we reorganise this information to provide a crude measure of
social status, based more on contemporary ideas than on modern
definitions of social class: "middling sorts" combines small farmers
not employing labourers with both masters and skilled workers in
urban manufacturing and handicrafts.
