Notes:

The following notes to the table appeared in the original report.

1 Where the name of the Registration or Union County in which a parish or place is returned differs from that of the County Proper to which it belongs, the name of the latter is added in italics.
2 The letter (W) denotes that a Workhouse is situate within the limits of the parish or place, and has been included in the return. A statement of the number of persons in the principal Public Institutions in each District will be found in Table 5.
3 Where a parish is situate partly in two or more Sub-districts, the area, houses, and population of the entire parish are also shown at the foot of the page. In these cases a reference number is affixed to the name of the parish at the foot of the page, and to the principal parts of such parish in the Table above.
4 Where the word Parish has been printed in italics, the place was formerly extra-parochial, but is now, under the Statute relating to such places, a parish for civil purposes.
5 The places named in footnotes as being included in Civil Parishes are Hamlets, Villages, etc, or localities having no defined boundaries.
6 The AREAS of parishes and places in London have been supplied by Major General Sir Henry James, R.E., Director of the Ordnance Survey Department.
7 The areas marked thus (w) either include water or foreshore, or relate to parishes and places to which a portion of the tidal water or foreshore of contiguous rivers or creeks has been allotted, though not included in the areas thereof by the Ordnance Survey Department. For details see Table 7.
8 Persons who, on the night of the 2nd April 1871, were on board barges or boats employed in inland navigation, and those who were on board sea-going vessels in harbours, rivers and creeks, are included among the general population. A detailed statement of the number of the latter class will be found in Table 6.
9 The population of the Ecclesiastical Districts or new Parishes which have been formed under the authority of several Acts of Parliament will be found stated under their respective Counties in Vol. I.

This website does not try to provide an exact replica of the original printed census tables, which often had thousands of rows and far more columns than will fit on our web pages. Instead, we let you drill down from national totals to the most detailed data available. The column headings are those that appeared in the original printed report. The numbers presented here, which are the same ones we use to create statistical maps and graphs, come from the census table and have usually been carefully checked.

The system can only hold statistics for units listed in our administrative gazetteer, so some rows from the original table may be missing. Sometimes big low-level units, like urban parishes, were divided between more than one higher-level units, like Registration sub-Districts. This is why some pages will give a higher figure for a lower-level unit: it covers the whole of the lower-level unit, not just the part within the current higher-level unit.
