POPULATION
During the second and third centuries it would probably be safe to assume a
non military [ie excluding the two forts in Carlisle and Stanwix] population
as numbering in the hundreds rather than thousands [M.McCarthy, Carlisle history
and guide p24]; 1377 plausible estimated population=1400/1500 (Summerson, Medieval
Carlisle p308); 1534 = 1700 ‘ a not implausible figure’ (Summerson
Medieval Carlisle p513); ‘In 1597 and 1598 it is stated that 1,196 persons
died of the plague in Carlisle, being about one third of the whole of the inhabitants’
(Mannix 1847 p105)1688= 5,060 (Denton- Mannix 1847 p 105); 1716= 2,000 (Brown
Willis- Mannix 1847 p105); 1763 = 4,158* (Hutchinson p667); 1780=6,299* (Hutchinson
opp. p674); 1796 = 8,716* (Hutchinson opp. p 674); 1801=9,521; 1811=11,645;
1821=14,531*; 1831=20,006; 1841=23,012; 1851=26,310; 1861=29,417*; 1871=31,049*;
1881=35,866*; 1891=39,176*; 1901=45,478*; 1911 = 46,420*; 1921= 52,710*; 1931=
