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.

1861 Census: "The decrease of population in Colby, Scottow, and Marsham parishes is attributed to migration".
1901 Census: "Including Fairstead."
