Note.—The 164 names in this table include only 38 workpeople residing in Battersea, the remaining names being either
duplicates or those of workers residing outside the Borough. The names of 79 additional Battersea outworkers were included in the
lists furnished by Medical Officers of Health of other Boroughs. There were, therefore, 117 Battersea home-workers named in the lists.
