This paper uses marital migration data transcribed from the Civil Registers of Marriage 1840-1911 to estimate kinship from migration matrices and isonymy in the Ards Peninsula, Northern Ireland. The distribution of religious denominations (Presbyterian, Episcopalian, and Roman Catholic) varies systematically throughout the region, with up to 77% Roman Catholic in the south and 81% Presbyterian in the north. Portavogie, a fishing village on the east coast, is exclusively Protestant, with a population 93% Presbyterian. Comparison of migration and isonymy with geographical distance by multidimensional scaling and the MATFIT procedure show Portavogie to be an outlier, more distantly related to other areas than its geographical position would predict. We suggest that this discrepancy is due to settlement history and occupational and religious isolation. Mantel tests show that marital migration is significantly related to geographical distance (rMG = 0.4257), as is the distribution of religious denominations (rRG = 0.5548) through settlement history. Migration is dependent on religion (rMR = 0.3674), and isonymy is dependent on migration (rIM= 0.2531) but not on geography or religion. With Portavogie omitted from the analysis, the dependence of migration on geography and on religion increases (rMG = 0.5583, rMR = 0.5646), as does the correlation between religion and geography (rRG = 0.7213). The dependence of isonymy on migration increases (rIM = 0.5103), and significant correlations between isonymy and religion (rIR = 0.4135) and isonymy and geography (rIG = 0.4660) appear. We argue that a full explanation of population structure requires geographical distance, settlement history, and the influence of religion and occupation to be taken into account.
本文使用从1840 - 1911年婚姻登记册转录的婚姻迁移数据，通过迁移矩阵和姓氏相同率来估算北爱尔兰阿尔兹半岛的亲属关系。宗教教派（长老会、圣公会和罗马天主教）的分布在整个地区呈系统性变化，南部罗马天主教徒比例高达77%，北部长老会教徒比例为81%。位于东海岸的渔村波特沃吉全是新教徒，93%的人口是长老会教徒。通过多维缩放和MATFIT程序将迁移和姓氏相同率与地理距离进行比较，结果显示波特沃吉是一个异常值，与其他地区的关系比其地理位置所预测的更为疏远。我们认为这种差异是由于定居历史以及职业和宗教隔离造成的。曼特尔检验表明，婚姻迁移与地理距离显著相关（rMG = 0.4257），宗教教派的分布也是如此（rRG = 0.5548），这是通过定居历史体现的。迁移取决于宗教（rMR = 0.3674），姓氏相同率取决于迁移（rIM = 0.2531），但不取决于地理或宗教。在分析中剔除波特沃吉后，迁移对地理和宗教的依赖性增加（rMG = 0.5583，rMR = 0.5646），宗教与地理之间的相关性也增加（rRG = 0.7213）。姓氏相同率对迁移的依赖性增加（rIM = 0.5103），并且出现了姓氏相同率与宗教（rIR = 0.4135）以及姓氏相同率与地理（rIG = 0.4660）之间的显著相关性。我们认为，对人口结构的全面解释需要考虑地理距离、定居历史以及宗教和职业的影响。
