I have considered all possible variant spellings of each name together to be the most accurate. Before counting anyone I have made certain that I am recording their proper name e.g I have checked that an Eliza was not born an Elizabeth. The name likely insufficiently placed on this list is Mary-Ann as a double first name- it can be very hard to tell whether a woman just has the Ann as a middle name or if she is known as "Mary Ann" in her daily life because hyphens were just about never used to make matters clear.
Anyway these are the top 50 first names for females living in Marlow in the last couple of decades of the Victorian era.
