Southwell

See Norfolk People and Families

• After 1834 Woodrising became part of the Mitford and Launditch Union, and the workhouse was at Gressenhall.

These figures are from the population tables which were produced after the 10-yearly national censuses. The "Families" heading includes families and single occupiers.

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.
