CORRECTED BIRTHS AND BIRTH-RATES
Of the 813 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
410 were of infants whose mothers were non-residents in the Borough. In addition
I received information of the births in outlying Institutions of 72 infants whose
mothers were residents of the Borough, and of 3 births that were notified but not
registered.
