annual rate for persons married during this period is therefore 21.0

Births and Birth-rate.—The births registered in the Borough
of Hackney during the year 1921 numbered 5,437, of which 2,818
were males and 2,619 females. The total shows a decrease of
1,049 compared with the number registered during 1920, but of
these a certain number must be transferred to other districts,
and certain births, which occurred in out-lying districts, must be
transferred to Hackney in order to get an accurate birth-rate for
the Borough. The Registrar-General has supplied the number of
these transferable births, viz-, 761 births to be transferred to
other districts and 302 to Hackney. After these necessary corrections
have been made, the correct total of registered births
amongst Hackney residents is 4,978. From this figure the birthrate
for Hackney during 1921 has been calculated to be 22.2 per
1,000 of the population. The birth-rate for all London for the
same period is 22.3 per 1,000 of the population.
