MARRIAGES.
The number of marriages celebrated during the year was 1,797. This is equal to a rate
of 9'6 marriages per 1000 of total population, or a rate of 19 2 persons marrying per 1000 of
the population.
The average yearly number of marriages during the preceding five years was 1,911,
equal to a rate of 95 per 1000 of population.
BIRTHS.
The number of births registered during the year belonging to St. Pancras was 2,449,
equal to an annual birth rate of 13*1 per 1000 of population. This is again for the third year
in succession the lowest birth rate recorded in the Borough.
The rate for the previous year was 136, and the rate for 1932 was 13-8.
The actual number of births registered as having taken place in the Borough during
the year was 4,092, but this figure has to be corrected by deducting the births of nonresidents,
which occurred chiefly in various hospitals and other institutions in the liorough
(2,032), and by adding the births belonging to St. Pancras which occurred outside the
liorough (389). The corrected figure is therefore as stated above, 2,449.
The corresponding figures for previous years and the birth rate for 1934 of the
County of London and the Metropolitan Boroughs, are given on page 16.
The following table gives the number of births and the birth rate in each Ward of
the Borough for the year 1934, and for comparison the figures for the previous year are also
given:—
