1 Ancitnt County. — There were no changes in the area of this County under the provisions of the Act 7 & 8 Vict, 

 cap. 61. Unfortunately the parts of Thetford St. Mary and Thetford St. Cuthbert in Suffolk were not distinguished 

 at the earlier Censuses, neither was the part of Brandon in Norfolk ; consequently Brandon is shown in the Table as 

 entirely in Suffolk and the parts of Thetford St. Mary and Thetford St Cuthbert are ignored in this Table. In the 

 1891 Census Volume a part of Gorleston Ancient Parish is said to be in Norfolk Ancient County and a part of Great 

 Yarmouth Ancient Parish in Suffolk Ancient County. The figures given for Gorleston Parish are exclusive of 

 those for the part in Norfolk Ancient County, which was first shown in 1891 ; the part in Norfolk is known to have 

 been enumerated in Runham Parish in 1881. None of Great Yarmouth is shown in this Table. 



The area is taken from the igoi Census Volume, and necessarily does not exactly correspond with the population. 

 The population given in the Table for 1821 excludes gqg Militia, who could not be distributed to the places to 

 which they belonged. (See also notes to Rushford, Mendham.) 



' Boxford is situated partly in Babergh Hundred and partly in Cosford Hundred. 



» Bme% St. Mary Ancitnt Parish. — The remainder is in Essex (Hinckford Hundred). 



« Chilton. — A portion of Chilton is supposed to have been included in Great Comard in 1841. The 1811 volume 

 states that the population of Chilton is included with that of Great Waldingfield in that year.
