Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	This note examines population and occupational changes in Brampton in the Victorian age. The small market town of Brampton in the north east of Cumberland, experienced a decline in population in contrast to growth in the county as a whole. This analysis makes use of census enumeration schedules for the urban area of Brampton parish taken from the 1841 and 1901 censuses. The analysis includes consideration of age and gender structure; changes in numbers of workhouse residents; social class; and occupational changes among males and females. The note concludes that the town retained its function as a rural service centre, accompanied by an increase in functions, notably transport and commerce. However, its population decline was associated with a lack of industrial development and the loss of domestic production, particularly hand-loom weaving and associated employment, as well as a decline in numbers of those employed in agriculture.
