BIRTHS.
The number of Births registered in the Borough during 1931 was
2,544, of which 1,296 were males, and 1,248 females. This represents a
birth-rate of 14.7 per 1,000 inhabitants.
The number of births registered in the individual parishes was as
follows:—Newington, 1,322; St. George the Martyr, 596; Christchurch
and St. Saviour's, 626.
Of the 2,544 births registered in the Borough 292 were transferred
away, the permanent residence of the parents being outside the Borough.
676 births occurring in various lying-in and other institutions outside
the Borough, but belonging to Southwark parents, were notified to me by
the Registrar-General. When the 292 "outward'' transfers are deducted
and the 676 "inward" transfers are added to the 2,544 births actually
registered in the Borough, the net amount of births belonging to Southwark
for the year is found to be 2,928. This gives a corrected birth-rate of 16.9.
