Jews in the British Isles in 1851: Occupations

Abstract

An earlier paper, in Volume LIII, drew on the 1851 Anglo-Jewry Database (AJDB) to analyse the residence and migrations of Jews living in mid-19th century Britain. The current paper draws further on this source to analyse the population’s occupations from a number of angles in 1851 and other decades, using the standard Booth-Armstrong industrial classification and a custom-designed supplementary taxonomy.
