REPORT OF THE MEDICAL OFFICER OF HEALTH.
Yestry Hall,
Hampstead, N.W.,
12th June, 1895.
To the Yestry of the Parish of St. John, Hampstead.
Gentlemen,
I have the honour to lay before you my Annual
Report upon the vital statistics of the Parish of Hampstead
for the registration year, 1894. The ordinary sanitary
statistics will, as before, be compiled for the parochial year,
which terminated on the 25th March, 1895.
The number of newly inhabited houses during the year
was rather less than in former years, so that after making
allowance for natural increase of population by excess of
births over deaths, I estimate our population up to the middle
of the year at 74,926.
Marriages.—The number of marriages celebrated was 455,
showing a decrease of 21 on the previous year.
Births.—The births registered during 1894 were 1,472, or
23 less than in the previous year. The birth-rate was
equal to 19"6, or somewhat less than that for the preceding
year, which was 20.5. The birth-rate for London was 30.1
per 1,000 of the population.
