Perhaps unsurprisingly, there are few old people – only five (three men and two women) are aged over 60 years. This is certainly one feature that is very different in the present day where around one in five of the Soothills living in England and Wales are aged over 60 years. Table 1.1 shows the 115 Soothills in the1861 census split into five-year age groups and by gender.
