Deaths.
The total number of deaths registered in 1900 was 1996, of which
999 were males and 997 females. This number was 190 less than that of
1899. Of the 1,996 deaths registered as occurring within the parish
boundaries, 128 died in the Newington Workhouse, Westmoreland Road.
They comprised 59 belonging, as parishioners, to Newington, and 69 to
other parishes of the St. Saviour's Union. The various localities in which
the "outlying" deaths occurred are shown in the following table. The
number of inhabitants belonging to the parish dying away from home, that
is, outside our boundaries, in the various Hospitals and Infirmaries, was
by far the largest hitherto known, viz., 800, or 29.3 per cent. of the
"corrected" number of deaths.
