CORRECTED BIRTHS AND BIRTH-RATES
The Registrar-General gave permission at the latter part of the year 1904
for details of births to be supplied by the Sub-Registrars. These details were at
once supplied to us, so that I have been able since then to exclude the births of
infants whose mothers were "non-residents."
Of the 917 registered births in St. Giles and Bloomsbury, a large proportion
of which took place at the British Lying-in Hospital, Endell Street, as many as
494 were of infants whose mothers were non-residents in the Borough. In addition
I received information of the births in outlying Institutions of 44 infants whose
mothers were residents of the Borough.
