Out of Parish means that they lived in an area which did not belong to any parish.

An area which did not belong to any parish was referred to as an Extra-Parochial Place.

In 1842 the main part of the extra-parochial area of the Forest of Dean was divided for poor-law act purposes into two townships of East Dean and West Dean
