The estimated population for the year 1893 is 5,306
and upon this calculation are based the various birth,
death and other rates.
Births and Birth

During the year 213 births were registered,
of which 101 were males and 112 females. The birth-rate
is 401 per 1,000, being the highest rate recorded for some
years.
Deaths, Death Rate
and Rate of Natural
Increase.
Exclusive of out-lying institutions, the
number of deaths registered during the year
was 112 (of which 56 were males and 50 females), giving
a death-rate of 21.1 per 1,000.
The total deaths of parishioners (obtained by excluding
the deaths of non-parishioners within the district, from
the calculation, and including those of parishioners outside
the district) numbers 122, representing a death-rate of
22.9 per 1,000 of the population.
The rate of natural increase was 19.0 per 1,000; the
excess of births over deaths being 101.
