MARRIAGES.
The Superintendent-Registrar of the Greenwich Registration
District has kindly furnished me with the particulars relating to
the number of marriages solemnised in the Parishes of Greenwich
and St. Nicholas. The Superintendent-Registrar for the Woolwich
Registration District has also kindly supplied the particulars for
the parish of Charlton and Kidbrooke, with the exception, in
these latter particulars, that the marriages performed in the
Woolwich Superintendent-Registrar's Office of residents in that
Parish are not included.
The following table shows these particulars, giving the number of marriages in Greenwich and St. Nicholas, etc., for each year since 1914:—
