Staffordshire Statistics


Hugh(1) & Margaret(2) Roberts were in Staffordshire by 1859 and the family remained in Staffordshire until 1886 when most family members immigrated.

Between 1851 and 1901, the number of people employed on the railways in Staffordshire (excluding construction) increased over nine-fold—from 940 people to 8,971 people

In 1881, 7% of Staffordshire’s female population were employed as indoor domestic servants.  Over 35 times as many females were domestic servants as males.

In 1851, there were 14 chimney sweeps aged between 5 and 9 in Staffordshire.

In 1891 there were 3,505 butchers in Staffordshire

There was a rise in the population density of Staffordshire from .06 people per acre in 1831, to 1.5 people per acre in 1991.

The number of people per household has decreased over the last 200 years.  In 1801 the average household in Staffordshire contained 5 people, compare to 2.6 in 1991—slightly above the 1991 Great Britain average of 2.5 people per household.
