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.

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.
