The 1851 Anglo-Jewry Database is a prosopographic resource with entries on the great majority of Jews resident in the British Isles in 1851. The collation of available data on their births, marriages, and deaths, on the children they had and their faith affiliations, along with decade-by-decade data on their residence and occupations, provides a basis for analysing their migrations, social mobility, fertility, mortality, and similar themes, and affords some scope for comparison with parallel populations.Latest edition informationFor the third edition (August 2020) an expanded and updated version of the database was deposited. The existing data have been significantly enriched and cleaned and 155 additional entries have been added. The documentation has been updated accordingly.Further information can be found on the Jewish Communities and Records 1851 Anglo-Jewry Database webpage.
