The One Place Studies started with the people of Whiteparish, in Wiltshire, England. I have a hunch that that parish may have links to my family tree. I find family and social migration interesting and this will help explore that. At the time of writing, the earliest date is 1470 when the population was less than 200, and the community fairly static. Marriages tended to be within the community and family associations can be assumed.

I also have a Millbrook Parish One Place Study. It starts with plotting the enumerators route of the 1841 census of Millbrook, Hampshire. Millbrook is now absorbed into Southampton.
Turnpikes became an interesting challenge. They are often refered to in the Enumerators Notes, especially as part of the boundary of the District. Hence investigating Turnpikes and creating ESRI Story Maps which included Turnpike data and mapping
There are now three core elements to my One Place Studies. Timeline, history, maps, and extensive text, in the first element. The second, is about data. Initially this was done as enbeded Excel tables and Charts, but that is no longer a viable option, so the individuals and families are imported into TNG.
The third is the geolocated element, held in ESRI Story Maps.
The first and main being my Genealogy Wedsite, with links therein to the other two.

This element has a detailed Timeline of events which happeded to the parish, at a world, national, and county level, as well as nearby events. Also, events within the parish and significant indifiduals or families.
The element is also the repository for anything I find out about the parish, from before when it was created as a manor through to the current day.
Whether that is an ancient map, a newspaper story, a shipping disaster, industrial history, particular houses, people and families. Anything I can find out about the parish, and record.
The second core is this one, which contains data and data analysis within the wrapper of this TNG software. Go to a list of people in the database The people of Millbrook
The third core is the data with a geolocated element. This data is best represented within a special element, hence mapped in ESRI Story Maps. This is primarily from the Tithe Apportionment, and includes Land Utilisation.

By studying one census location from 1841 to 1911, I hope to be able to shed some light on he social change as the population starts to migrate again and the area becomes urbanised and absorbed into Southampton.
However, before the first was complete, others popped along, that needed a similar treatment.
This is a collation of them as they currently stand.
Millbrook Parish one place study
One Place Study' of Whiteparish
The are lots of complications regarding the concept of place. Millbrook, Hampshire for instance is a Manor, a village, a parish, and a suburb of Southampton. A study can not reasonably be expected to be all things to all people, all at the same time. Hence we need to set a Scope whilst recognising the boundaries move.
For our purposes, as a generalisation, the Tithe Apportionment Maps represent a good starting point. It is a well defined area with clear boundaries. It probably includes the Ecclesiastical Parish named together with any relevant Extra Parochial area. It is a stable well defined foundation in a point in time. It is not confused with Civil Parishes as they were not created until later.

Of potential interest is the Process or Mechanics of my On Place Studies, but that does not need repeating ofter, so has it's own page.
The Millbrook Parish One Place Study includes a detailed structural analysis of the 1841 Census, including household composition and occupational patterns.
This page presents a structural and demographic analysis of the 1841 Census for Millbrook, Hampshire, based on explicit census relationships (Type A), cleaned household structures (Type A1), and later inferred family groupings (Type B).
