SEX and AGE:

The original census form has separate columns for the ages of males and females, but I have used just one column for age and added a column containing M or F to indicate whether the person is male or female.

EMP:

This column is an amalgamation of three columns in the original census form:

E	=	Employer
X	=	Employed
N	=	Neither Employer nor Employed (N.B. this could mean either out of work or self-employed).

CTY:

County of birth. This has been standardized to a three-letter "Chapman" county code.

The column listing infirmities has been omitted. Details are given in the NOTES column.
