Deaths.
During the year 2,337 deaths were registered in the Borough of
Poplar, 451 deaths having occurred in the Sub-District of Poplar, 1,609
in Bromley, and 277 in Bow; from the 451 deaths which took place in
Poplar there must be deducted 34 deaths of non-residents, and to the
remainder must be added 393 deaths which occurred in outlying institutions,
making a total of 810 deaths of Poplar parishioners. Treating
the 1,609 registered deaths in Bromley in a similar manner, viz., deducting
902 deaths of non-parishioners and adding 163 deaths in outlying
institutions, the deaths to be assigned to this sub-district will be found
to be 870. From the 277 Bow deaths, there must be deducted 4 nonresidents
and added 260 deaths in outlying institutions, making a total
of 533 deaths.
In dealing separately with the sub-districts as above, it will be seen
by referring to Tables I., II., and III., that in considering the deaths of
non-residents and those from outlying institutions, certain additions and
deductions from the sub-districts have to be made in respect of themselves,
but when considering the Borough as a whole, then from the 2,337
deaths which were registered there must be deducted 549 deaths of actual
non-residents, and 425 deaths in institutions entirely outlying must be
added, making a total for the Borough of 2,213 upon which the death
rate is calculated.
The 810 deaths in Poplar included 8 illegitimate children, 3 male
and 5 female; the 870 deaths in Bromley included 7 illegitimate
children, 2 male and 5 female; the 533 Bow deaths included 1 illegitimate
female child, making a total for the Borough of 16 deaths of illegitimate
children
