Notes:

1. The original table was organised with columns giving the county of birth in 1881 and rows giving the county of residence, but have been re-organised here so that both counties appear as values in columns.
2. The birthplace data in 1881 is limited. It records, by registration county, birthplace. Data on those born outside England and Wales is not given.
3. Table was renamed from mig_1881 when transferred from the Oracle server.
4. This table originally had the birthplace and location columns identified the wrng way round. Now checked against the original reports and amended to be correct.

Checking:

1. The printed table contains birthplace county total which were checked by summing place or residence.
2. No matching to the AUO gazetteer has been attempted. These files have been altered to run on Postgres, but otherwise are exactly the same as they were on the oracle server.
