"FILBY is a small parish and straggling village, on the Norwich turnpike, 6 miles N.W. of Yarmouth. It has 553 inhabitants, and 1191 acres of land, exclusive of roads, 100A. in plantations, and about 160A. in a fine lake, called Filby Broad, and abounding with fish and wild ducks. The Church, dedicated to All Saints, has a lofty embattled tower and five bells. It stands on an eminence above the lake, and contains a beautiful marble monument, in memory of the late Chas. Lucas, Esq. The rectory, valued in the King's Books at £11. 1s. 6d., and in 1831, at £520, has 24 acres of glebe, and is in the patronage of the Rev. Charles Lucas, and incumbency of the Rev. Gibson Lucas, who is also chief owner and lord of the manor, which was anciently held by a family of its own name. Filby House, the seat of the rector, is a handsome mansion of white brick, rebuilt in 1833." [William White, History, Gazetteer, and Directory of Norfolk (1845) - Transcription copyright © Pat Newby]

There may be more people living in detached parts of the parish (if there were any) and, if so, the number may or may not be included in the figures above. It is quite difficult to be sure from the population tables.
