Notes:
*1 Nawton and Wombleton are partly within the liberty of St. Peter, of York, and considered as of the peculiar jurisdiction of the Prebendary of Stillington.

*2 Viz. Beadlam, 151; Muscoates, 62 ; Nawton, 337 ; Nawton with Wombleton, 220; North Holme, 21; Skiplam, 124; Welburn, 112; Wombleton, 262. In 1834, the Population was returned at 1,231. The area of Bransdale West Side includes that of the townships of Skiplam and Welburn; on the other hand, the return of Skiplam includes the Population of Bransdale West Side. The appearance of a duplicate return of the townships of Nawton and Wombleton arises from part of those townships being within the jurisdiction of St. Peter, of York, and was heretofore entered in that liberty. East Ness, previous to the last return, was entered as part of Stonegrave parish.
