Appendix No. IV

Table Of Population, 1801 to 1901

Introductory Notes

Area

The county taken in this table is that existing subsequently to 7 & 8 Vict., chap. 61 (1844). By this Act detached parts of counties, which had already for parliamentary purposes been amalgamated with the county by which they were surrounded or with which the detached part had the longest common boundary (2 & 3 Wm. IV, chap. 64–1832), were annexed to the same county for all purposes; some exceptions were, however, permitted.

By the same Act (7 & 8 Vict., chap. 61) the detached parts of counties, transferred to other counties, were also annexed to the hundred, ward, wapentake, &c. by which they were wholly or mostly surrounded, or to which they next adjoin, in the counties to which they were transferred. The hundreds, &c. in this table are also given as existing subsequently to this Act.

As is well known, the famous statute of Queen Elizabeth for the relief of the poor took the thenexisting ecclesiastical parish as the unit for Poor Law relief. This continued for some centuries with but few modifications; notably by an Act passed in the thirteenth year of Charles II's reign which permitted townships and villages to maintain their own poor. This permission was necessary owing to the large size of some of the parishes, especially in the north of England.

In 1801 the parish for rating purposes (now known as the civil parish, i.e. 'an area for which a separate poor rate is or can be made, or for which a separate overseer is or can be appointed') was in most cases co-extensive with the ecclesiastical parish of the same name; but already there were numerous townships and villages rated separately for the relief of the poor, and also there were many places scattered up and down the country, known as extra-parochial places, which paid no rates at all. Further, many parishes had detached parts entirely surrounded by another parish or parishes.

Parliament first turned its attention to extra-parochial places, and by an Act (20 Vict., chap. 19— 1857) it was laid down (a) that all extra-parochial places entered separately in the 1851 census returns are to be deemed civil parishes, (b) that in any other place being, or being reputed to be, extra-parochial overseers of the poor may be appointed, and (c) that where, however, owners and occupiers of twothirds in value of the land of any such place desire its annexation to an adjoining civil parish, it may be so added with the consent of the said parish. This Act was not found entirely to fulfil its object, so by a further Act (31 & 32 Vict., chap. 122–1868) it was enacted that every such place remaining on 25 December, 1868, should be added to the parish with which it had the longest common boundary.

The next thing to be dealt with was the question of detached parts of civil parishes, which was done by the Divided Parishes Acts of 1876, 1879, and 1882. The last, which amended the one of 1876, provides that every detached part of an entirely extra-metropolitan parish which is entirely surrounded by another parish becomes transferred to this latter for civil purposes, or if the population exceeds 300 persons it may be made a separate parish. These Acts also gave power to add detached parts surrounded by more than one parish to one or more of the surrounding parishes, and also to amalgamate entire parishes with one or more parishes. Under the 1879 Act it was not necessary for the area dealt with to be entirely detached. These Acts also declared that every part added to a parish in another county becomes part of that county.

Then came the Local Government Act, 1888, which permits the alteration of civil parish boundaries and the amalgamation of civil parishes by Local Government Board orders. It also created the administrative counties. The Local Government Act of 1894 enacts that where a civil parish is partly in a rural district and partly in an urban district each part shall become a separate civil parish; and also that where a civil parish is situated in more than one urban district each part shall become a separate civil parish, unless the county council otherwise direct. Meanwhile, the ecclesiastical parishes had been altered and new ones created under entirely different Acts, which cannot be entered into here, as the table treats of the ancient parishes in their civil aspect.

Population

The first census of England was taken in 1801, and was very little more than a counting of the population in each parish (or place), excluding all persons, such as soldiers, sailors, &c., who formed no part of its ordinary population. It was the de facto population (i.e. the population actually resident at a particular time) and not the de jure (i.e. the population really belonging to any particular place at a particular time). This principle has been sustained throughout the censuses.

The Army at home (including militia), the men of the Royal Navy ashore, and the registered seamen ashore were not included in the population of the places where they happened to be, at the time of the census, until 1841. The men of the Royal Navy and other persons on board vessels (naval or mercantile) in home ports were first included in the population of those places in 1851. Others temporarily present, such as gipsies, persons in barges, &c. were included in 1841 and perhaps earlier.

General

Up to and including 1831 the returns were mainly made by the overseers of the poor, and more than one day was allowed for the enumeration, but the 1841–1901 returns were made under the superintendence of the registration officers and the enumeration was to be completed in one day. The Householder's Schedule was first used in 1841. The exact dates of the censuses are as follows:—
10 March, 1801
27 May, 1811
28 May, 1821
30 May, 1831
7 June, 1841
31 March, 1851
8 April, 1861
3 April, 1871
4 April, 1881
6 April, 1891
1 April, 1901

Notes Explanatory of the Table

This table gives the population of the ancient county and arranges the parishes, &c. under the hundred or other sub-division to which they belong, but there is no doubt that the constitution of hundreds, &c. was in some cases doubtful.

In the main the table follows the arrangement in the 1841 census volume.

The table gives the population and area of each parish, &c. as it existed in 1801, as far as possible.

The areas are those supplied by the Ordnance Survey Department, except in the case of those marked 'e,' which are only estimates. The area includes inland water (if any), but not tidal water or foreshore.

† after the name of a civil parish indicates that the parish was affected by the operation of the Divided Parishes Acts, but the Registrar-General failed to obtain particulars of every such change. The changes which escaped notification were, however, probably small in area and with little, if any, population. Considerable difficulty was experienced both in 1891 and 1901 in tracing the results of changes effected in civil parishes under the provisions of these Acts; by the Registrar-General's courtesy, however, reference has been permitted to certain records of formerly detached parts of parishes, which has made it possible approximately to ascertain the population in 1901 of parishes as constituted prior to such alterations, though the figures in many instances must be regarded as partly estimates.

* after the name of a parish (or place) indicates that such parish (or place) contains a union workhouse which was in use in (or before) 1851 and was still in use in 1901.

‡ after the name of a parish (or place) indicates that the ecclesiastical parish of the same name at the 1901 census is coextensive with such parish (or place).

[o] in the table indicates that there is no population on the area in question.

— in the table indicates that no population can be ascertained.

The word 'chapelry' seems often to have been used as an equivalent for 'township' in 1841, which census volume has been adopted as the standard for names and descriptions of areas.

The figures in italics in the table relate to the area and population of such sub-divisions of ancient parishes as chapelries, townships, and hamlets.

In the following instances it is possible to show the population back to 1801 for the towns as constituted at the census of 1901:—

(a) Bicester Urban District consists of Bicester King's End and Bicester Market End Townships (both in Ploughley Hundred).

(b) Chipping Norton Municipal Borough consists of Chipping Norton Township (Chadlington Hundred).

(d) Wheatley Urban District consists of Wheatley Chapelry (Bullingdon Hundred).

Footnotes

1	Ancient County.—The County as defined by the Act 7 & 8 Vict. c. 61, which affected Oxfordshire to the following extent:—Gained from (A) Berkshire, the main part of Langford Parish (i.e. Langford Civil Parish), Little Faringdon Tything, and Shilton Parish—all from the Faringdon Hundred: (B) Gloucestershire, the parishes of Widford (from Slaughter Hundred—Lower Division), and Shenington (from Tewkesbury Hundred—Upper Division); (c) Buckinghamshire, the hamlet of Studley (from Ashenden Hundred), and the parish of Caversfield (from Buckingham Hundred). Relinquished to (A) Buckinghamshire, Lillingstone Lovell Parish and Boycutt Hamlet (both from Ploughley Hundred), and part of Lewknor Parish (from Lewknor Hundred); (B) Gloucestershire, part of Broughton Poggs Parish, viz. Great Lemhill Farm (from Bampton Hundred)—Great Lemhill Farm is included in Gloucestershire (Lechlade Parish). The area is taken from the 1901 Census volume. It does not include a part of Whitchurch Parish in Berkshire (309 acres), part of which area was added to Sulham (Berkshire) under the Divided Parishes Act of 1882, and the remainder was added to Purley (Berkshire) in 1894 (See note to Whitchurch, Langtree Hundred). The population for 1811 excludes 1,423 militia, who were not assigned to their respective parishes. The area, as given in 1901, also includes any parts added to Oxfordshire under the Divided Parishes Acts, but excludes any parts taken from it under the same Acts—two such changes only are known, probably both small in area, one from Northamptonshire and the other to Berkshire. There are still (1901) some lands in Oxfordshire common to two or more Parishes (or Places); these uninhabited lands are included in the area of the County, but not in the areas of the Parishes (or Places) to which thay jointly belong. (See also notes to Mollington, Kingsey, Ickford, Lewknor, Ibstone, and Oxford St. Aldate.)
2	Weald Hamlet included with Bampton Township, 1801–31 and 1881–1901. The area is also included there.
3	Stonelands was added to Shilton before 1871, and there included 1871–1901. The area is also included there.
4	Charlbury Ancient Parish is partly in Banbury Hundred and partly in Chadlington Hundred.
5	Charlbury Township (or Civil Parish) includes Walcot (Chadlington Hundred), 1881–1901.
6	Cornbury Park, perhaps included in Charlbury Parish, 1801–31.
7	Cropredy Ancient Parish is comprised (A) partly in Banbury Hundred, (B) partly in Bloxham Hundred, and (C) the remainder in Warwickshire.
8	Prescote maintained its own poor as early as 1841.
9	Swalcliffe Ancient Parish is comprised partly in Banbury Hundred and partly in Bloxham Hundred.
10	Harpsden includes the former parish of Bolney, which had ceased to have any separate existence prior to 1801.
11	The remainder of Sonning Ancient Parish is in Berkshire.
12	See note (³), p. 216.
13	The remainder of Mollington Chapelry in sin Warwickshire; the figures for 1821 and 1831 for the part in Warwickshire cannot be ascertained, so the whole is shown in Oxfordshire.
14	See note (⁷), p. 216.
15	Shotover, described as Extra Parochial up to and including 1851, seems to have been partly a Civil Parish and partly Extra Parochial (Shotover Hill Place), the latter becoming a separate Civil Parish under the Extra Parochial Places Act, 1857. The two are, however, shown together in the table for convenience of comparison.
16	Headington.—The figures for 1801 are estimated.
17	Littlemore Liberty is partly in Iffley Parish (Bullingdon Hundred) and partly in St. Mary the Virgin Parish (Oxford City and University). The whole population is shown under the latter Parish, 1801–31. The increase in the part in St. Mary the Virgin in 1851 is due to the erection of a lunatic asylum for paupers between 1841 and 1851.
18	Great Milton Ancient Parish is partly in Bullingdon Hundred and partly in Thame Hundred.
19	Oxford St. Clement.—A new workhouse erected between 1861 and 1871 for the Oxford Poor Law Incorporation.
20	Waterperry includes Thomley, which has been shown separately in Census volumes from 1861.
21	Wychwood Forest, previously Extra Parochial, was created a Parish under the Whichwood Disafforesting Act, 1853. High Lodge (in the Forest) is known to have been included with Ascot-under-Wychwood 1831–51. Ranger's Lodge and Waterman's Lodge (in the Forest) are known to have been included with Shorthampton in 1841 and 1851. Poole's and Pratley's Lodges (in the Forest) are known to have been included with Leafield in 1841 and 1851.
22	See note (²), p. 216.
23	See note (⁷), p. 218.
24	Shorthampton includes Shock's Coppice, formerly described as Extra Parochial; Shock's Coppice was added to Shorthampton between 1861 and 1871.
25	See note (⁸), p. 216.
26	Hook Norton.—The increase of population in 1821 is said to consist only of paupers.
27	Great Rollright.—In 1830 67 persons emigrated to America from this Parish.
28	Leafield includes Brice's Lodge, stated to be formerly Extra Parochial, which was definitely added to Leafield before 1871.
29	Fifield Hamlet included with the rest of Bensington Parish in Ewelme Hundred 1881 to 1901. The area is also included there.
30	See note (⁸), p. 219.
31	The remainder of Ickford Ancient Parish is in Buckinghamshire, where the population of Draycot Hamlet is included 1801–31.
32	Whitchurch includes Whitchurch Tollhouse, stated to have been at one time Extra Parochial. Part of the Parish is in Berkshire, but the whole is shown in Oxfordshire (1801–1901), as the part in Berkshire was not distinguished until 1861.
33	Kingsey.—The remainder of the Ancient Parish is in Buckinghamshire. There seems to have been considerable confusion as to where the County boundary really divided the Parish, consequently the figures for each part (though not for the whole) must be received with caution. The whole population is shown in Buckinghamshire 1801–31.
34	Lewknor.—The remainder of the Ancient Parish is in Buckinghamshire; the whole population is shown in Oxfordshire 1801–41. The part in Buckinghamshire was transferred to that County under the Act 7 & 8 Vic. c. 61.
35	Ibstone.—The remainder of the Ancient Parish is in Buckinghamshire, where the whole population is shown 1801–31.
36	The decrease in Stoke Talmage in 1831 is attributed to the non-residence of pauper parishioners.
37	The increase in Watlington in 1831 consists mainly of paupers.
38	The population of Fritwell for 1801 is an estimate.
39	Hardwick included Tusmore in 1821.
40	There was a temporary increase of 157 persons in Kirtlington in 1841 owing to the annual village-feast being held at the time of the Census.
41	The population of Shelswell for 1801 is an estimate.
42	Stratton Audley.—There seems to have been, according to some of the earlier Census volumes, a part of this Ancient Parish in Bucks, but no such part has ever been set out.
43	See note (4), p. 218.
44	Thame.—The increases in 1821 and 1831 are stated to be chiefly of paupers.
45	Hensington was stated in 1841 and 1851 to include certain Extra Parochial almshouses (adjoining Blenheim Park); apparently, if they ever were legally Extra Parochial, they were added to Hensington, as the figures for the latter 1851–1901 relate to the same area.
46	Cogges included Wilcots in 1801 and 1811.
47	North Leigh included 1841–1861 an Extra Parochial Place, viz.: Horse-in-Hill or Osney Hill. In 1871–1901 this area is shown as a separate Civil Parish, but is included with North Leigh in this Table.
48	South Leigh.—In 1831 there were nearly 7 persons to each house and yet 60 pauper parishioners were living outside its limits.
49	Woolvercot included 1841–1861 the following Extra Parochial Places, viz.: Cutslow, Godstow, and King's Weir. In the 1871 volume a new Civil Parish of Cutteslowe is shown (formed out of Woolvercot); this Parish is not shown in the Table, but is included with Woolvercot.
50	University of Oxford.— The Colleges and Halls are arranged according to seniority of foundation. In 1841 all the Colleges and Halls were said to be Extra Parochial; in 1851 this was said to be doubtful; in 1901 those in the Oxford Incorporation are rated and the rate is paid by the University—they are not rated to the Parishes in which they stand—in the Headington Union they are, viz. Corpus Christi College, Merton College, St. Alban Hall, and part of Oriel College to St. John. Their areas are included in the Parishes where they are locally situated:—Worcester College in St. Thomas; Lincoln College in All Saints; Wadham College in Holywell; Corpus Christi College, Merton College, St. Alban Hall, and part of Oriel College in St. John; All Souls College, Brasenose College, St. Mary Hall, and part of Oriel College in St. Mary the Virgin (Proper); Balliol College, St. John's College, and Trinity College in St. Mary Magdalen; Exeter College and Jesus College in St. Michael; New Inn Hall in St. Peter-le-Bailey; Magdalen College, Hertford College, New College, Queen's College, University College, St. Edmund Hall in St. Peter-in-the-East; and Christ Church College and Pembroke College in St. Aldate (part in Oxfordshire). In 1811 the female residents were not included in the Return.
51	Binsey may be in the Liberty of Oxford. Its population includes 35 gipsies in tents in 1871.
52	Oxford St. Aldate.—The remainder of the Ancient Parish is in Berkshire, viz.: Grampound Tithing, which was, however, included in Oxfordshire in 1821. The part in Oxfordshire includes certain almshouses in St. Aldate Street, which claimed to be Extra Parochial; they are not mentioned after 1851, so seem to have either been added to St. Aldate or to have relinquished the claim.
53	Oxford St. Giles includes Keble College and Charsley's Hall, both erected between 1861 and 1871. The Workhouse was pulled down between 1861 and 1871.
54	See note (3), p. 218.
55	Oxford St. Peter-in-the-East.—Merton Fields claimed at one time to be Extra Parochial.
56	Blenheim Park was not returned in 1801; its population is assumed to have been the same as in 1811.
57	Woodstock.—The decrease in 1851 is attributed partly to the fact that in 1841 a large number of workmen were temporarily employed in alterations and repairs at Blenheim Palace.
