A vision of Ireland from 1821 onwards.
Including maps, statistical trends and historical descriptions.
1931 Census of England and Wales, General Report, Table 54 : " Agricultural Workers in Urban and Rural Areas of England and Wales, 1921 and 1931".
Note. The figures given below refer to workers aged 14 and over in 1931, but to workers aged 12 and over in 1921. In 1921 there were 6,246 males and 330 females aged 12 and 13 ; so that the total number of males of 14 and over (in thousands) should be reduced from 1,171 to 1,165. It is impossible to adjust the 1921 numbers shown for urban and rural districts for workers under 14 years of age.
