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