Notes

Eastrip and Four Towers appear as two separate rows in the 1871 and earlier censuses, but in 1881 they appear as a single row. The 1891 census records them as being separately abolished in 1885, so this joint listing in 1881 is an anomaly. The 1881 census gives the combined area as 160 acres and the combined population as 18, while in 1871 Eastrip is listed as having 160 acres and 26 people, and Four Towers as no area and 8 people.
