Coming around again: friend of mine some years back was researching the history of the 'underclass' as being panicked about in the earlier part of C20th and similarly found that these long-term family scenarios did not exist, and that the whole thing was strongly related to wider economic factors. The Edwardian 'underclass' pretty much vanished during the Great War with conscription, full employment, etc.

Sigh.
