Abstract
Estimates of adult mortality are presented for England and Wales during the nineteenth century using an indirect estimation procedure developed by S. H. Preston and N. G. Bennett which involves the use of census data. These estimates are compared with estimates based on vital statistics data. The results of these and other estimates all suggest a life expectancy of about 40 years of age in the 1830s and 1840s. (ANNOTATION)
