Notes

Although this unit originally had a start date of 1837 in the AUO there is no evidence it existed before 1890. The Poor Law reports indicate it was created sometime between 1st January when it does not appear and 1st July 1890 when it does. The dates have been changed accordingly.

We know of no alternate names.
