The excess of births over deaths was 429, being a natural
increase in the population of 14.4 per 1,000.
The number of deaths in the various wards of the Borough
was as follows:—
Town Ward 53
Plaistow Ward 41
Bickley Ward 32
Sundridge Ward 43
Martin's Hill Ward 41
Bromley Common Ward, No. 1 56
Bromley Common Ward, No. 2 12
278
Owing to building having taken place during the last few
years, much more rapidly in some wards compared with
others, I have been unable to estimate the population, and
therefore the death rates in the respective wards.
The age periods were as follows:—
Under 1 year, 43.
Over 1 year and below 5 years, 16.
Over 5 years and below 15 years, 17.
Over 15 years and below 25 years, 9.
Over 25 years and below 65 years, 96.
Over 65 years, 97.
One man reached the age of 91 years.
Deaths under 5 years of age, 59.
Deaths over 5 years of age, 219.
