The Superintendent-Registrar of the Greenwich Union has
kindly furnished me with the particulars relating to the number of
marriages solemnized in the Parishes of Greenwich and St.
Nicholas. The Superintendent-Registrar for the Woolwich Union
has also kindly supplied the particulars for the Parishes of
Charlton and Kidbrooke, with the exception, in these latter
particulars, that none of the marriages performed in the Woolwich
Registrar's Office and in Chapels in Charlton and Kidbrooke, of
residents in those Parishes, are included.
