of which 2106 were registered in the 1st, 2079 in the 2nd, 2062
in the 3rd, and 2230 in the 4th quarter of the year. The Births
were 3332 in excess of the Deaths, and 156 more than in the previous
year.
The Deaths during the year were 5145, being 162 in excess of
the previous year. In all the Districts there has been an excess
of Births over Deaths: namely, in Lambeth Church 2nd, 696;
Kennington 1st part, 633; Brixton, 595; Waterloo 2nd, 513;
Kennington 2nd, 461; Waterloo 1st, 242; Norwood, 178; and
Lambeth Church 1st, 14.
It appears as if there were an increase of only 14 Births in
Lambeth Church 1st, but, after deducting the Deaths in St. Thomas's
Hospital of strangers to the District, amounting to 210, the increase
of Births over Deaths will be 224.
The Deaths during the Four Quarters of the year were as
follow:—
First Quarter 1037
Second Quarter 1130
Third Quarter 1346
Fourth Quarter 1632
Deducting the deaths of 329 persons which occurred in the
Public Institutions in Lambeth of strangers brought, not only
from other Districts of London, but from the country, the Deaths
of residents in Lambeth will be reduced to 4816. Of the 329
strangers, 210 were at St. Thomas's Hospital; 103 at Stockwell;
9 at the Royal Infirmary, Waterloo Road; and 7 at the Lying-in
Hospital, York Road.
The Births and Deaths during each Quarter of the Year, in each
of the eight divisions of the Parish, are shown in Table No. 2;
