Illegitimate Births and Birth-rate.—The total number of illegitimate
births registered in the Borough during the year 1911 was
371, but of these I am informed by the Registrar-General that
253 should be transferred to districts outside of Hackney, as the
mothers were not Hackney residents; and that 8 births taking
place in other'districts should be transferred to Hackney, Making
these corrections there remain 126 illegitimate births amongst
Hackney residents. This is equivalent to an illegitimate birth-rate
of 24 per 1,000 registered births.
The following table gives the number of births, birth-rates, &c.,
for the sub-districts the Borough:—
| Registration District of Hackney. | Registration Sub-District. | All London, | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| North. | Central. | South-West. | South-East. | |||
