In this paper we will use individual-level data from the 1881, 1891, 1891, 1901 and 1911 censuses of England, Wales and Scotland from the Integrated Census Microdata (I-CeM) database to compare and contrast the experiences of paid work and motherhood amongst women arriving from Eastern Europe with those of migrants born in mainland Western Europe and the ‘British-born’ population. We will use maps to explore the numbers and spatial distribution of women living in Britain who had arrived from elsewhere in Europe in order to compare and contrast the dimensions of the migration flows seen over our 30-year study period. Focusing on London, where the number of migrants was particularly high, and utilising the answers to the special questions in the 1911 census, we will use the I-CeM data to compare and contrast the living conditions, occupations and family life of women coming to Great Britain from Eastern Europe with the experiences of those coming from Western Europe and the resident population. By comparing the profiles of the three groups we will show whether the experience of the eastern European-born differed from that of women who had not travelled so far, and whose culture perhaps differed rather less dramatically from that of the resident population.

In this paper we will use individual-level data from the 1881, 1891, 1891, 1901 and 1911 censuses of England, Wales and Scotland from the Integrated Census Microdata (I-CeM) database to compare and contrast the experiences of paid work and motherhood amongst women arriving from Eastern Europe with those of migrants born in mainland Western Europe and the ‘British-born’ population. We will use maps to explore the numbers and spatial distribution of women living in Britain who had arrived from elsewhere in Europe in order to compare and contrast the dimensions of the migration flows seen over our 30-year study period. Focusing on London, where the number of migrants was particularly high, and utilising the answers to the special questions in the 1911 census, we will use the I-CeM data to compare and contrast the living conditions, occupations and family life of women coming to Great Britain from Eastern Europe with the experiences of those coming from Western Europe and the resident population. By comparing the profiles of the three groups we will show whether the experience of the eastern European-born differed from that of women who had not travelled so far, and whose culture perhaps differed rather less dramatically from that of the resident population.
