Table: The following table shows the course of the birth-rate in the Borough in the past:—BIRTH-RATES.Paddington.
The following table shows the course of the birth-rate in the Borough in the past:—
Illegitimate Births.—These were 244 in number, or 12.82 per cent. of the total number of
births. The proportion of illegitimate births varies remarkably in the different wards as is shown
in the table below:—
Table: RATE OF ILLEGITIMATE BIRTHS PER 100 TOTAL BIRTHS.
Stillbirths.—During 1933, 93 stillbirths were registered in the Borough in accordance with
the provisions of the Births and Deaths Registration Act, 1926. Of these, 20 occurred to residents
of other localities; on the other hand 22 stillbirths occurred outside the Borough to Paddington
residents. The nett number for the Borough was therefore 95, a figure equivalent to 4.7 per cent,
of the total births recorded. Of the 95 stillbirths, males numbered 54 and females 41, 10 of the males
and 6 of the females being illegitimate.
