Notes:
*1 Viz. Cawton, 89; Gilling, 214; Grimston, 68. The official abstracts of the Population returns exhibits an erroneous aggregate of the Population of this parish, some of the townships being placed under the other Gilling, which is within the Archdeaconry of Richmond, and which, in order to avoid confusion, should be designated as West Oiling.

*2 According to the return of 1818. In 1834, the return was "sufficient".
