Notes:

NB missed by Youngs. This unit originally had a start date of 1863 for the Poor Law Union Status value. However the statement of numbers receiving poor relief indicates it had poor law powers via a Local Act of Incorporation prior to this. The History of the Workhouse website confirms an eighteenth Century date for the Act creating the unit.
