Abstract
This article produces the first findings on changes in household and family structure in England and Wales, 1851-1911, using the recently available Integrated Census Microdata (I-CeM) – a complete count database of individual-level data extending to some 188 million records. As such, it extends and updates the important overview article published in Continuity and Change by Anderson in 1988. The I-CeM data shed new light on transitions in household structure and family life during this period, illustrating both continuities and change in a number of key -areas: family composition; single parent families; living alone; extended households; childhood; leaving home and marriage patterns.
