Butcher, Baker, Candlestick Maker; Occupations in Newburyport, Massachusetts from the 1850 Census - Margaret P. Motes. In the 1850’s Newburyport, MA was a bustling area thanks in part to the shipyards along the Merrimac River and the import of exotic goods. Many books have been written about the area but little is known about the workers in the city and their impact on Newburyport. The place of birth of all residents born outside of MA (to demonstrate migration patterns) and the occupations of all of its residents (to demonstrate diversity of skills) are examined, using data from the 1850 Federal Census for Newburyport. The largest number of immigrants came from Ireland but many came from England and Scotland as well, bringing with them skills and occupations like weaver, shoemaker and mariner. There are over 4,800 individuals listed in this book. Abstracted information includes name, age, sex, occupation, color, place of birth, household and dwelling number and the area within Newburyport. The appendix lists men who went to CA (1850 Newburyport City Directory). 2001, 5½x8½, paper, 200 pp. $20.00 M1823 ISBN: 0788418238
