Table II. gives the population of Camberwell and its
registration sub-districts as they were enumerated at the
censuses of 1881 and 1891 respectively, and also the number
of inhabitants there would be in the Parish and its divisions
at the middle of 1895, provided that the same rate of increase
had been maintained between 1894 and 1895 as existed between
1881 and 1891. This is an uncertain means of calculation,
but in default of an annual census it is the best at our disposal;
at the present time the population of the Parish is probably
over-estimated, and when the census is taken we shall find that
the number is less than that above stated.
