There were 3,463 births registered in the Parish of Saint
Paul (1,688 males and 1,775 females), and 252 in Saint Nicholas
Parish (126 males and 126 females).
DEATHS.
The number of deaths registered in Saint Paul's Parish was
1,499 (724 males and 775 females), in Saint Nicholas Parish, 137
(55 males and 82 females), in the South Eastern Metropolitan
Asylum Board's Hospital, 226, and in outlying public institutions,
492, making a total of 2,354.
Of the 226 deaths registered as occurring in the South-Eastern
Hospital, only 18 were parishioners of Deptford, therefore, if
these deaths, 208, are deducted from the gross number occurring
in my district, it makes the number of deaths of parishioners
only—including those dying in outlying Public Institutions—2,146,
equivalent to an annual Death Rate of 18.1 per 1,000 persons
living.
The Death Rate in the thirty-two great provincial towns
during the year was 19.3 per 1,000 persons living. Whilst the
Death Rate for the Metropolis was 187 per 1,000; that for
Saint Paul's Parish, including all parishioners, whether dying in or
out of the parish was 17.7, and for Saint Nicholas Parish, 23.6.
Full details will be found in Tabular Forms Nos. 1 and 2,
and Table No. 2 gives the statistics of the births and deaths in
the two parishes during the year, showing the number of deaths
which occurred at the South-Eastern Metropolitan Asylum Board's
Hospital, including non-parishioners, and at the outlying public
institutions.
