The number of births registered in the Borough was 6,547
to which must be added 112, representing the children of Camberwell
mothers who were born in institutions outside its boundaries. For
the purposes of allocation these births, as a rule, have had to be
considered as a class apart, since it has usually been impossible to
ascertain the wards in which they resided previous to their departure
for the lying-in hospitals, &c., where their infants were born; the
various wards have therefore been credited with these births in the
same way as the unclassified deaths have been distributed among
them.
