POPULATION.
The Registrar-General's provisional estimate of the population
of Hampstead at the middle of 1916, based upon the Censuses of 1901
and 1911, together with the returns made under the National Registration
Act 1915, was 81,470. This estimate has been adopted in this
Report and, with the exception of the birth rates, it forms the basis
upon which the various rates have been calculated.
By the direction of the Registrar General the birth rates have
been calculated upon the estimated population of 88,641.
MARRIAGES.
According to the return kindly furnished to me by the
Superintendent Registrar of Hampstead, it appears that 727 marriages
were registered in the Borough during 1916.

BIRTHS.
During the year 1,051 births were registered in Hampstead, a
decrease of 171 as compared with 1,222 registered in the previous year.
In addition 114 births of children, whose mothers were Hampstead
residents, occurred outside the Borough in Lying-in Institutions, etc.
1 birth registered in Hampstead belonged to another District and must
be subtracted from the total.
After these corrections have been made the net number of births
belonging to Hampstead was 1164, as compared with 1,327 in 1915, a
decrease of 163.
