Notes

Youngs' Northern volume identifies the end date of this union as 1911 on page 751. However a footnote on the Statement of the number of Paupers relieved on the 1st July 1912 states "Aston and King's Norton Unions were dissolved...on 1st April 1912." The Poor Law Union status end date has been altered accordingly.

The unit has had the following statuses:
