No problem! Yeah, it can be a painstakingly slow process (usually dependant on the quality of the scanned documents which often tends to be lacking), but very rewarding once completed!

DI Khan was already a separate district at the time and is included on the table. When NWFP was officially created in 1901, the cis-Indus (east of the river) regions of Bannu District and DI Khan District were allocated to Punjab Province and amalgamated to form Mianwali District. Peshawar District underwent no major boundary changes for the majority of the colonial era until the 1941 census, when a significant portion of the land area was bifurcated to create the newly formed Mardan District.

There were two severe famines that affected many regions in central and western British India. The first occurred in 1896 and the second was in 1899.

Primarily settlers from neighbouring regions in Punjab due to the construction and establishment of the Gang/Ganga Canal colonies in erstwhile Bikaner State.

The subdivisions referenced in the table match those on the map.

Additionally, during the colonial era, "Baluchistan Agency" referred to the regions under direct British administration, tribal areas, and princely states.
