Marylebone in the Metropolitan area, showing boundaries used from 1868 to 1885.
Marylebone was one of five parliamentary boroughs in the metropolitan area of London enfranchised in 1832.[1] The listed civil parishes (succeeding the parish vestries in all civil, secular matters) are respectively tinted pink, green and yellow on the inset map. The constituency was defined as consisting of three civil parishes in Middlesex:[2]
The commissioners appointed to fix its boundaries recommended that the part of Saint Pancras north of the Regent's Canal should be omitted thus remain in the parliamentary county of Middlesex being a still a largely rural projection.[3] The inhabitants of St. Pancras, however, petitioned parliament for the inclusion of the entire parish, and this was accepted.[4]
In 1885 the entity was split into eight new single-member divisions:
1 Election of Whalley in 1837 declared void on petition, as he could not prove his eligibility.
2 A peer of Ireland.
Elections
Turnout, in multi-member elections, is estimated by dividing the number of votes by two. To the extent that electors did not use both their votes, the figure given will be an underestimate.
Change is calculated for individual candidates, when a party had more than one candidate in an election or the previous one. When a party had
only one candidate in an election and the previous one change is calculated for the party vote.
