I'm not sure that's exhaustive. Google AI can already tell you more about Eurasian unicorns.

The NFU supported remain (after commissioning an economic evaluation)

No problem - happy to discuss what specifically you could do - but it depends a lot on what kinds of other information you have (e.g. about population occupational distributions) and what assumptions you want to make. Maybe here is not the ideal forum for that!

The idea in those articles is to translate standard statistical approaches for historical cases.
I still think that is the right basic approach. However, to be honest the implementation isn't that great, and I'd do thing rather differently if I were doing something similar now.

The textbook on this is: Little and Rubin, Statistical Analysis with Missing data.
About 20-years ago I wrote a couple of articles attempting to translate those ideas to historical cases:

With a case like your missing farmers the occupational data is going to be 'missing not at random', and your missing data mechanism is 'non-ignorable' and so you are going to have specify a missingness mechanism.

An important and very general problem!
One possibility is to use ideas developed to deal with missing data in statistics.
That is to impute missing values using some systematic approach, and to use multiple imputations to summarize the extra uncertainty that brings to the analysis.

Lots of bribery too - an ancestor was involved in vote buying in 1865 election in Lancaster, parliamentary inquiry led to the two Liberal MPs being disqualified.

An ancestor was involved in election riots in Newbury. Hundreds of working men were unable to vote while local aristocrats decided their future. No one was injured and the only damage was to the polling booth.
The 'riot' leaders were given months of hard labour in Reading gaol.

Anyone looking to follow-up on this suggestion might find our interactive map of the election violence in the article useful: victorianelectionviolence.uk/interactive-...

Would be very interested to see that! Yes - that's pretty much right. Obviously digitization has transformed the possibilities for this kind of project, but even with the technology we had to work with it was a very big undertaking. Just searching is a very complex operation.

That is fair. Both are important and we will have more to say about in future publications. Tilly was very influential in how we thought about the project and a systematic comparison with Matteo's findings is something we'd like to do. Are there specific things that you would have like to have seen?
