Note (1)—The marriage-rates are calculated upon the number of marriages registered in London, irrespective of the locality in which the persons married were usually resident.
Note (2)—(a) The birth-rates and death-rates are calculated, so far as concerns the'' years 1011-1914, upon the births and deaths in Greater London, which have been allocated to London by the
Registrar-General. (6) From 1891 to 1910, inclusive, this correction was applied only to births and deaths in institutions; and in respect of deaths from measles and whooping cough
of children under five years of age, and deaths from erysipelas, puerperal fever, cancer and all causes not shown in this table, the correction was further limited to deaths occurring in
administrative institutions, (c) Prior to 1891, no correction was made, the rates shown being calculated upon the births and deaths registered in London.
