Mr. Cook's returns show absolute figures as follows:—
Foreign Aliens in Whitechapel, 1894.
Notified by the Secretary to the Jewish Shelter 1658
„ Other Authorities 358
2011
The results upon investigation were as follows :—
Verified as remaining in the District 906
Unable to verify, addresses incorrectly given 140
Removed to other Districts, or gone abroad 925
Returned to their Native Towns 40
2011
The marriages within the District during the year amounted to 373.
The previous year they numbered 550.
The total number of births which were registered in the four Subregistration
Districts during the 52 weeks amounted to 3,178. Of
such number 129 occurred in the Whitechapel Union Infirmary, which
is in the Mile End New Town Sub-registration District. In 16 of
these cases the children were born of women not previously resident
in the District. The remaining 113 I have distributed among those
Sub-Districts which had formed the homes of the mothers previously
to their admission into the Infirmary. In this way 54 were referred
to the Spitalfields Sub-District; 21 to Mile End New Town; 21 to
Whitechapel Church Sub-District; and 17 to Goodman's Fields.
Correctly disposed according to this plan, the births may be set out
as under:—
Mile End New Whitechapel Goodman's Total
Spitalfields. Town Church Fields.
893 992 844 433 3162
The District birth rate therefore equalled 40.3 per 1,000.
The Metropolitan birth rate was 30 per 1,000.
The total deaths registered during the year amounted to 2,313.
Table B* indicates the deaths which were registered in each Subregistration
District. A deduction has now to be made of those deaths
to the number of 891 which occurred among Non-Residents, nearly all
of whom died in the London Hospital; and then to the remaining sum
must be added the deaths of those Residents who died in Outlying
Public Institutions, and elsewhere than in the District. These deaths,
numbering 172, and the places where the deaths occurred, are tabulated
in the Appendix as usual. Thus, the corrected number of District
deaths for the year was 1,694. A death-rate for the year is recorded
of 20 3 per 1,000, as compared with a Metropolitan death-rate of 17.7
per 1,000.
