[Publisher-supplied data] This birefs examines mortality among young children in the
period from the seventeenth to the nineteenth century. It does so using several types
and sources of information from the census unit England and Wales, and from Ireland.
The sources of information used in this study include memoirs, diaries, poems, church
records and numerical accounts. They offer descriptions of the quality of life and
child mortality over the three centuries under study. Additional sources for the nineteenth
century are two census-derived numerical indexes of the quality of life. They are
the VICQUAL index for England and Wales, and the QUALEIRE index for Ireland. Statistical
procedures have been applied to the numbers provided by the sources with the aim to
identify effects of and associations between such variables as gender, age, and social
background. The briefs examines the results to consider the impact of children's deaths
upon parents and families, and concludes that there are differences and continuities
across the centuries
