DESCRIPTION:The Cambridge Group for the History of Population and Social S
 tructure used fathers' occupations from Anglican baptisms to construct a '
 census' of adult male occupations 1813-20. However\, in areas where noncon
 formity was strong\, a significant proportion of baptisms were missing fro
 m parish registers\, especially in Wales. This study assesses the availabi
 lity of nonconformist baptism records in six Welsh hundreds\, and analyses
  whether there were significant differences between the occupations of Ang
 lican and nonconformist fathers or between nonconformist denominations. As
  fathers' occupations were only available for an estimated 31% of nonconfo
 rmist baptisms\, the representativeness of this data is considered\, and w
 ays of estimating missing occupations explored.
