Table VI. relates to the houses, Table VII. to the
population, of the entire Parish. From Table VI. it will be
seen how the houses have increased Census by Census.
From Table VII. it will be seen how the population has
increased. The Tables are imperfect, owing to the facts
that I have been unable to ascertain the number of houses
existing at the Census of 1841; and that the numbers of
males and females living at the late Census have not yet
been published:—
