Included in the population of the Wenlock Ward is that of the Holborn Union
Workhouse, which is situate in this Ward. The number in this institution on
the night of the Census 1911 was 1,328. For certain statistical purposes this
Workhouse population is not regarded as belonging to Shoreditch, and is
excluded from the estimated population of the Borough, which becomes for
these purposes, therefore, 102,299, whilst the estimated population of the Ward
is reduced to 15,019, and that of the Registration Sub-District, Shoreditch
North-West, to 32,889.

In estimating the above figures, the area of the Holborn Union Workhouse
premises and the population resident thereon and also the area of the Borough
covered by water have not been taken into account.
BIRTHS.
The births registered in the Borough numbered 2,955, of which 1,478 were of
males and 1,477 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 3,091, of which 1,539
were of males and 1,552 of females.
