Great Faringdon can be classified as a Civil Parish. From the 1911 to the 1971 Census, it was located within Faringdon Rural District in Berkshire
etc.
The broad picture of population change can be followed from census to census, but as each census has evolved to reflect and keep up with changes in society, direct comparison does not necessarily provide a good source of information about detailed change over time. Changes in the questions asked, in the categories used to present results, and in geographical boundaries, mean that each census primarily provides a 'cross sectional' picture of the country at the time.
Elements of continuity can nevertheless be found, for example the boundaries of local government areas in England did not change substantially between 1981 and 2001, after wholesale reorganisation in 1974, as referred to above.
The census historical path back to the 1911 Census is below although note that, based on the area measurements below, it can be seen that there must have been a boundary change between 1951 and 1961.
No census was taken in 1941 because of the Second World War.
