(BEING HIS TWENTY-THIRD ANNUAL REPORT),
Do the Bestrn of the Parish of st. Seorge,
Hanover Square.
My Lords and Gentlemen,
The total number of deaths registered in the Parish
during the 52 weeks ending December 29th, 1894, was
1,510, against an average of 1,808 during the preceding
ten years. Of these deaths 554 were those of NonParishioners
(Table II.), leaving 956 deaths of Parishioners.
To these, however, must be added 140 deaths of
our Parishioners in Public Institutions in the Metropolis
outside of the Parish and in the extra Metropolitan
Asylums, so that the corrected total of deaths of our
Parishioners was only 1,096, or 280 less than the average
during the preceding ten years. (See Table I.)
In my Annual Report for 1892 I explained the manner
in which I estimated the population for the middle of that
year; applying the same method, I calculate that the
population of the Parish at the middle of 1894 was as
follows :—
Mayfair - - 23,097
Belgravia - - 56,026
Whole Parish - 79,123
