I realise you have to use a source, and none will be perfect, but having answers where the main town doesn't end in 'ley' (e.g. cannock or sittingbourne) just because the census also lists a suburb that does end in 'ley', seems odd. Maybe you should note these with an asterisk.

Also, your source is only for England and Wales, and not the UK. You are missing some Scottish answers - Paisley, pop. 74,000 approx - for example.
