were of non-parishioners who died in St. Mary's Hospital,
43 were of non-parishioners who died in the
Children's Hospital, and 5 were of non-parishioners
who died in the Lock Hospital, making a total of 326
non-parishioners who died in the Parish.
Deducting these non-parishioners, it will be seen
that 2,005 parishioners died actually in Paddington.
To this number must be added the deaths of 105
parishioners in extra-parochial hospitals and public
institutions, making a corrected total of 2,110—1,000
males and 1,104 females—equivalent to an annual
death-rate of 17.9 per 1,000 inhabitants.
The natural increase of population from the excess
of births over deaths was 842, as compared with 797
in the previous year.
Of the 2,110 deaths, 1,590 occurred in St. Mary's
and 520 in St. John's Sub-district.
The subjoined table shows that the deaths were most numerous in the first, and least so in the third quarter of the year.
