populations
Of course, getting the geography straight in my own mind was only part of getting a good contextual hold. Another aspect tackled was the likely population. The only caveat used to get this total was homogenous spread over the area. Of course it is not true, but the next option is direct sampling by residence, which was not going to happen. Here are the estimated populations for 1871, 1881,and 1891. No observed population fluctuation in the period estimated would lead an objective person to the conclusion the local population was undergoing a severe population growth. https://goo.gl/photos/ZvkJR8YTsvp8aGLd6
