The Registration District-level marriage statistics in 'mar_reg' were built up using tables each covering a complete decade which appeared in the Decennial Supplements of the Registrar General for the 1840s, 1850s and 1860s, plus data for individual years taken from later Annual Reports of the Registrar. The transcriptions covering the three decades have been preserved in separate tables.
For an analysis based on these data, see H.R. Southall and D.M. Gilbert, 'A Good Time to Wed: marriage and economic distress in England and Wales, 1839-1914', Economic History Review, XLIX (1996), pp.36-58.
N.B. This table contains data on numbers of marriages, i.e. counts of events. Census statistics on marital status are held elsewhere in the database.
