In service or one of the family? Kin-servants in Swavesey 1851-81, Ryde 1881, and Stourbridge 1881.

This paper examines the occurrence of kin-servants in the second half of the 19th century in both rural and urban environments. The evidence of the census enumerators’ books for the Cambridgeshire village of Swavesey between 1851 and 1881 and for Ryde (Isle of Wight) and Stourbridge (Worcestershire) in 1881 supports the findings of Edward Higgs, as to the existence of kin-servants. It does, however, suggest that neither the high proportion of kin-servants he identified in Rochdale (Lancashire) nor their status, was typical of the country as a whole. An apparent rise in the number of kin-servants in 1881 was found to be misleading, a much larger percentage than in previous years being identified as working outside the home.
