Rotherhithe.
Marriages.
The total number of marriages in the Borough in 1913 was
1,203, being 21 above the number for 1912, and 89 above the average
for the last 10 years.
In Table VIII. of the Appendix will be found particulars of
numbers and rates in the three Registration Sub-districts. The

Deaths.
In Table IV. of Appendix will be found the Local Government
Board tables dealing with deaths in the Borough. The extended
table of causes of death initiated in 1904 will also be found in the
Appendix.
The total number of deaths registered in the Borough for the
year ended December 31st, 1913, was 1,730, which is 129 more than
in 1912, and 156 less than the average for the last 10 years.
When this figure is corrected by exclusion of deaths of nonparishioners
occurring in the district, and the inclusion of deaths of
parishioners occurring outside the district, the number is raised
to 2,243. This is 124 more than in 1912, and 131 less than the
average for the last 10 years.
The annexed table shows the distribution of deaths in quarters,
together with the corresponding quarters of 1912. The largest
number of deaths occurred in the first quarter of the year.
