Percentage of smallpox burials aged 10+ or adult by period and region of Britain
Notes: Where burial registers did not give age, child status was assigned to burial records described as ‘infant’, ‘son of’, and ‘daughter of’. In rural parishes these descriptors were applied to teenagers resident with a parent as well as younger children.
