Place of Death, Leeds Parish Register 1764-1772
Place of Death
Of the 3,641 burials recorded in the Leeds Parish Register from January 1764 to December 1772 only 12 do not have a place of residence recorded. These appear to be mainly children but include 'Samuel.... a stranger' and 'James Penitent A boatman'.
The main problems with the locations mentioned are the variety of ways in which each place can be spelled and trying to work out exactly where each place was actually situated. Where were High Causey, High Causway or High Cawsey? these have all been taken to be variations of the same place.
When a person lived 'beyond Bridge' which bridge were they talking about? Near the church has been taken to mean St. Peters, since that is the parish register being studied.
Table D-1 lists all the locations recorded in alphabetical order while Table 2, in the main text, has sorted them so that we can see exactly where most people died. In both these tables March Lane and Marsh Lane have been left as two separate places, although they are the same in reality. Spellings for other places have been standardised, normally on the most common spelling.
The approach taken to place of death was similar to that for cause of death. Annual tables were produced with totals of burials in each location, 1764 in Table D-2, 1765 in Table D-3, 1766 in Table D-4, 1767 in Table D-5, 1768 in Table D-6, 1769 in Table D-7, 1770 in Table D-8, 1771 in Table D-9 and 1772 in Table D-10.
The same few locations produce the most burials each year, though some years seem to draw from a far wider catchment area than others.
A map was drawn containing elements from Jefferys' map of 1770, Cossins' plan from 1726 and the Baines and Newsome map of 1834, to be used as a basis for determining how the deaths were distributed. The Baines map of 1821 was also used. Additional information was found on the Baines and Newsome 1834 map which was annotated with the boundaries of the manor of Leeds [Heap and Brears 1993 p10-11] Droney Laith was finally found in Beresford [1988 p131]
Unfortunately the resulting map still only covers the central area and is very crude but does at least give an indication of the spread of deaths. The vagueness of the places named does not help though. Large blocks, that appear to be densely housed, are unnamed and unmentioned. As with the cause of death we have been given a tantalising glimpse of the times without having enough information to be satisfied.
The first map to have deaths marked on it was for the total of smallpox deaths. The most obvious point to be drawn from this map, Figure D-1, is that, if Jeffreys' shading does indicate how built up an area was, the areas of Quarry Hill, March Lane and Bank must have been very densely packed to have so many cases with so little housing shown. Bank has been identified from later mentions as being the area between the bottom of Richmond Hill and the river [Burt and Grady 1994 p96] but is not shown on the town maps of the time, although it can be seen marked on the road and rail map in Beresford [1988 p21] Could it be because it was already an area that Leeds preferred not to acknowledge? Bank is, however, not only on the map in Beresford but we also get the information that there are 366 families, containing 1411 people, living at Bank and Far Bank. [Beresford 1988 p 106] However it is possible that the roads called Bank and Blackbank are just off the boundaries of the map.
Figure D-2 plots the totals of burials from January 1764 to December 1772 on to the same map. Again the same questions and problems arise, the more information is collated and used the more information is needed to satisfy the user. It was decided not to plot any more maps until a better base map could be derived.
The final analysis performed was to extract tables of deaths caused by the more common disorders with totals by the location of death. These tables, for Consumption Table D-11, Fevers Table D-12, Fitts Table D-13, Old Age Table D-14, Smallpox Table D-15 and Wearing Table D-16, are sorted so that the most frequently named locations come at the beginning of the table. Again Kirkgate, Bank, Vicar Lane, Marsh Lane, Quarry Hill, Meadow Lane, Mabgate and Briggate all vie for the most burials, except that the Workhouse tops the table for 'Old Age'. See Appendix E for the explanation.
It was unfortunate that the detailed breakdown of burials did not go as far as 1775 so that the figures could have been compared to the census breakdown in Beresford [1988 p106-107] but it is possible to compare these groupings with our last year of study 1772. [Table D-17]
It can be seen here that Kirkgate stands out as being the unhealthiest area to live, having over 4% of its population buried as against the general level of 2.34%. However it should be remembered that the burials are all at St. Peters, which is in Kirkgate, and that these burials are only approximately two thirds of the total burials each year. This is most likely the reason for the preponderance of burials being from the Kirkgate area.
The burials from our study have been split into the areas used by the town enumeration as closely as possible. The breakdown can be seen in Table D-18.
The main finding from these quick analyses is that much more work needs to be done on this very fascinating subject. It is quite possible that it has been done in the intervening 20 years so please let me know if you come across it.
