Notes

Youngs' indicates this unit had a Poor Law Union status assigned to it in 1870. However the Statement of the Number of Paupers includes the unit from 1859 and identifies it as one of the single Poor Law Parishes under Local Acts. A Poor Paw parish status ending in 1870 has therefore been added to this unit.
