The system can only hold statistics for units listed in our administrative gazetteer, so some
rows from the original table may be missing. Sometimes big low-level units, like urban
parishes, were divided between more than one higher-level units, like Registration
sub-Districts. This is why some pages will give a higher figure for a lower-level
unit: it covers the whole of the lower-level unit, not just the part within the current
higher-level unit.
