I think Ponte might be a better answer for P, think their population is around 30k+ ... And what about Fev for F if you can't find a population for Farsley.

Enjoying your Yorkshire quizzes though!

Thank you! But according to the source, Farsley is indeed the biggest place in Yorkshire beginning with F, just for some reason it doesn't give the population.

Acomb /ˈeɪkəm/, /ˈjækəm/ is a suburb within the City of York Unitary Authority, to the western side of York, England. It covers the site of the original village of the same name, which is mentioned in the Domesday Book. It is bordered by the suburbs of Holgate, to the east, Clifton, to the north and Woodthorpe to the south. It is not a separate town.

Eccleshill is an area, former village, and ward within the City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council in the county of West Yorkshire, England. Not a town as such, just part of Bradford.

However, Elland is a market town in Calderdale, in the county of West Yorkshire, England. It is situated south of Halifax, by the River Calder and the Calder and Hebble Navigation. Elland was recorded as Elant in the Domesday Book.

Try telling the people of Acomb that Acomb is not a separate entity...

There is a tiny strip of houses near Hemsworth (no name on google maps) which is called Vissitt, West Yorkshire

Jump is the largest village in Yorkshire starting with V (it is in south yorkshire)

Unfortunately I can't find reliable population statistics for either of those places, and I like to be consistent with sourcing. Additionally, while Ulleskelf is potentially a stretch, I did specify 'significant settlements'.
