These 341 Deaths include those non-parishioners who died in
the Charing Cross Hospital, and therefore must be omitted in
estimating the death-rate, but, on the other hand, the deaths
occurring outside the Parish among persons belonging thereto
must be added. On referring to Table 7, it will at once make clear
what I have just stated.
In estimating the Death-rate, I do so in two forms, the first in
which are excluded 21 deaths of aged parishioners occurring in
Edmonton Workhouse and 2 at St. Martin's Almshouses, they
having been resident in these Institutions many years prior to
their death, and in the second I have included them.
Death-rate of St. Martin-in-the-Fields for the
year 1894, excluding 21 deaths of aged
parishioners occurring in the Edmonton Workhouse
and 2 in the St. Martin's Almshouse
16.0 per 1,000 of
the estimated
population.
