Yes,
A lot has been done.
I there's a piece in Mills and Schrurer Communities in the
Victorian Censuses.
This I think has something.

# I am researching the growth of Gorleston in Norfolk from a small fishing
village of about 1000 minhabitants in 1800 increasing to about 9000 at the
end of the century. The village initially grew with the fishing industry
and towards the end of the century benefitted from the growing holiday
industry with the advent of the railway.

# Using the 1881 census I have broken the population down into employment,
movement, etc., etc. Has anyone done similar for any of the other fishing
villages which grew into major fishing centres in this period, that is
Grimsby, Scarborough, etc. where we could discuss our findings and ideas?
