《清嘉庆朝刑科题本社会史料辑刊》所辑录的83例安徽省刑科题本档案，记载有双方当事人所供述的家庭、婚姻、人口、职业生计等情况，通过对这些安徽省题本档案的深入解读，可发现清代中叶安徽家庭状况：通常一个普通家庭的人口保持在5—7人，即由父母、夫妻以及1—2个孩子组成；若无子嗣则从宗族支系过继子嗣或通过抱养的方式延续血脉；一部分寡妇为生计需要而改嫁再醮；男性大龄未婚、晚婚现象时有发生；夫妻婚后存在晚育甚至无子情况；民众生计仍以务农居多，兼营工、商等多种生计方式。
The 83 cases of Anhui province's criminal records compiled by the “Qing Jiaqing Period's Criminal Records Collection of Social Historical Materials”record the family, marriage, members, professional livelihood and other information confessed by both parties. Through in-depth interpretation of these records, information can be found about Anhui families in the middle of the Qing dynasty: usually an ordinary family had 5-7 members, composed of parents, husband and wife and 1-2 children; if there was no children, they would adopt children from the clan or elsewhere to continue their blood; some widows would remarry for livelihood needs; for the men, no marriage or late marriage occurred from time to time; there were cases of late childbirth and even no child after a couple爷s marriage; people's livelihood was still mainly farming, and they also engaged in various ways of livelihood such as industry and commerce.
