Sub-district of Putney and Roehampton.
55
Deaths and
Death Rates.
258 deaths were registered in this sub-district
from all causes during the year. This includes deaths of all
parishioners who have died within our borders, but does
not include the deaths of parishioners who died outside
our district. Tho number of such deaths in outlying
institutions, are given in a classified form in Table IT.
Included in the 258 deaths are those of non-parishioners
who have been temporarily residing in the parish. So far
as we know there were not many such deaths, as there is
no large publie institution or hospital located hero ; most
of these deaths have either occurred in the Priory,
which is a private Asylum, or have been the result of
homicide.
The death-rate was 13T per 1000 per annum. If,
however, we include parishioners who died in outlying
institutions and exclude non-parishioners who died
within the district, we have a death.rate of 15.1 per
per 1000.
Rate of
Natural Increase.
If we only take into account the registered
births and deaths within the district, our population
would have increased at the rate of 10.9) per 1000 living.
Deaths in Out-lying
Institutions.
51 deaths of parishioners occurred in outlying
institutions, 23 males and 28 females.
This is nearly double the number which occurred during
the previous year. The difference is accounted (or by the
fact that a much larger number died in the Union
Infirmary and in the General and special Hospitals during
1895, and this excess occurred chiefly among elderly
people above 60 years of age. Only two deaths took
place in the Asylums Board hospitals.
