Murray (1980)	Roberts' 1973 restudy of Rampedi ward, Mochudi (Schapera and Roberts, 'Rampedi Revisited', Africa 45 No 3, 1975)	1973	Shows durability of agnatic ward structure alongside high mobility, many never-married women and many children born to them.
Murray (1980)	Schapera's 1934-35 residential surveys of two Tswana wards (Rampedi ward, Mochudi; a ward in Serowe), published as 'The social structure of the Tswana ward', Bantu Studies 9, 1935	1934-1935	Provides the 1934 baseline of ward composition, household size and illegitimacy against which later change is measured.
