1. These data were transcribed from Table 5 of the 1911 census printed report, entitled Registration Counties, Districts and sub-Districts, with their constituent Civil Parishes. - Urban or Rural District in which each parish is situated; Area; Families or Separate Occupiers, and Population, 1901 and 1911,and Population enumerated in Institutions, Large Establishments, and on Vessels c, 1911. 2. The original tables are organised by Registration county, District and sub- District, but list for each parish the local government district it was in. The original report states that 'Registration Districts are co-extensive with Poor Law Unions or Parishes of the same name with the exception of the Registration Districts of Fulham (3), Winchester (103), Royston (135), Hatfield (138), Dorchester (264), Hereford (337), Wolverhampton (369), Chester (450), and Helmsley (531), each of which comprises two Poor Law Unions or Parishes.' . 3. This table contains footnotes. The notes to the table generally contain lists of 'places', and the preamble states 'The places named in footnotes as being included in Civil Parishes are localities having no defined boundaries such as hamlets, villages, etc. In many cases names applied to localities serve also as the names of Ecclesiastical Parishes, Wards, etc' The notes also contain explanations of parishes showing rapid growth. An example of these notes is, for the parish of Toton, Nottinghamshire, 'including part of Attenborough, Draycott and Church Wilne. The large increase in the pop. of this CP is attributed mainly to the development of the lace-making industry.' The notes have been transcribed in full.
