Various documents give
population figures for the village although it has to be borne in mind that
boundaries have changed over the years and direct comparisons are not always
possible. Acreage figures have been given where available and are shown against
their nearest population date.
For instance, not
surprisingly, the west end of the present village (including Sandiway Cottage
and Sandiway House) were once part of Sandiway, which in turn was a hamlet in
the township of Weaverham, having no real separate existence in the directories.
Also in 1894, by Local Government Board Order No.31,609 part of Hartford civil
parish was added to Northwich civil parish. It is also noticeable that Kelly's
figures seem low and to break the trend of a rising population. We will try to
verify their figures from the census data.
