Notes

Youngs' identifies the ancient parish of Mappleton, containing Mappleton and Rowlston township which became a separate CP in 1866. He does not distinguish between the two hamlets, but in the Census listings the figures are given separately for both between 1851-1881, whilst in 1891-1911 they are listed as a single unit. An 1891 footnote states "Mappleton and Rowlston together form one civil parish". Therefore a "hamlet" status unit has been created for the earlier listings which were part of the Township/CP unit.

The unit has had the following statuses:

Status Abbreviation Start End Authority
Township Tn     1881 Census of England and Wales, Population tables 2, Table 4 , 'Area, Houses, and Population of Civil Parishes in the several Registration Sub-Districts in 1871 and 1881'
Hamlet Hmlt     1871 Census of England and Wales, Population tables 2, Table 4 , 'Area; Houses and Inhabitants, 1861 and 1871, in the Parishes and Places comprised in each Superintendent Registrar's District'
