Talk:Brecknockshire

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I am concerned about the population figure, it needs sourcing. It was present in the initial version of the article, and i consider it quite possible that 56,000 was the population of the county in whatever historic gazetteer that had been copied and pasted from.

I've removed this figure and also similar unsourced figures on Caernarfonshire and Radnorshire. Morwen - Talk 10:09, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

[[1]] has pops for Montgomery, Brecon and Radnor, which I will add, with appropriate sourcing. The given pop figure of 56,000 is the same as the 42,000 in area committee and the 14,000 in Brynmawr - it may have been calculated like this? This though would fail to take into account the other parishes; and the bits made part of Monmouth or Glamorgan by Local Government Act 1888. Llannelly has a population of 3706, which pushes the figure well out. Anyway, this is starting to turn into original research. Morwen - Talk 12:02, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
