Covered an area immediately north of the City of London. This area was subject to large population increases in the 19th century as people moved out of the City proper. In addition Holborn Registration District acquired large parishes which had previously had their own registration districts (in 1869 it was expanded by more than 120,000 people living in Clerkenwell and St. Luke Old Street parishes). Further adjustments of the boundaries of the registration district were made once the County of London was formed in 1889, particularly on the founding of metropolitan boroughs in 1901.
