* The Registrar General, in a Memorandum dated the 1st March, 1922, points out that the Census taken
in June, 1921, was probably to some extent affected by the holiday movement of the population, and he has
deemed it necessary, therefore, to make an adjustment by measuring the extent of the non-resident population in
certain areas and by effecting its re-distribution throughout the country. He therefore estimates the population
of Willesden at 167,200.
