The population of Wenlock Ward includes the inmates of the Holborn Union
Workhouse, which is situate in this locality. These, estimated at 1,376, are, for certain
statistical purposes, not regarded as persons belonging to Shoreditch, and are, for
these purposes, excluded in estimating the population of the Borough, which therefore
becomes 115,130, whilst that of the ward becomes 17,226.

In the above table the areas of the water-ways of the Regent's Canal and of the
site occupied by the Holborn Union Workhouse have not been taken into account.
BIRTHS.
The number of births registered in the Borough was 3,802, of which 1,905 were of
males and 1,897 of females. The number corrected by the inclusion of the births
occurring in public institutions outside Shoreditch, the parents being residents of the
Borough, and the exclusion of those occurring in public institutions within the
Borough, the parents not being residents of Shoreditch, was 3,870, of which 1,945 were
of males, and 1,925 of females.
