Here we are presenting statistics for a historical unit, which may have changed its boundaries significantly during the period covered.


Notes:

Frederick Youngs lists Wandsworth and Battersea as being two separate Poor Law Parishes from 1904 onwards. However, the Local Government Board statistical reports continued to list a single unit, which changed its usual name from "Wandsworth and Clapham" to "Wandsworth" in 1904. The Registration District was always called "Wandsworth".
