notes: Between about 1868 and 1871, Oxford is frequently found in lists of "wards," and William Nelson and George Lake are almost always called "Bishop," but they were only acting bishops until Lake was ordained in 1872. So when did it become a ward? assertion #4024199 by bplewe on 2024-07-04: confidence 100%.
