[4] For governance purposes it is divided between the village of Neguac,[5] the Indian reserves of Esgenoôpetitj 14 and Tabusintac 9, the incorporated rural community of Alnwick,[6] and the regional municipality of Tracadie.

[12] The modern communities of Burnt Church and Bartibog were near or on the southern edge of the parish, which was nearly rectangular and ran west past the Nepisiguit River.

[12] The 1814 reorganisation of Northumberland County's parishes gave Alnwick nearly its modern boundaries,[13] removing all territory in what's now Gloucester County and Newcastle and Northesk Parishes but adding modern Barryville, Oak Point, The Willows, Bartibog Bridge, and Winston.

In 1850 the western boundary was moved upriver to its current departure point,[17] transferring a strip of territory to Alnwick, most of it wilderness.

[14][15][16][20] Parish population total does not include Neguac, the Indian reserves or portion within the Regional Municipality of Tracadie.
