as compared with 166,308 in 1891. These 170,465 persons
comprised males 67,002, and females 103,463, the excess of
females thus being 36,461.
In the Town sub-district the population was 122,164,
as compared with 118,751 in 1891: increase 3,413. The males
numbered 51,101, the females 71,063 : excess of females 19,962.
In the Brompton sub-district the population was 48,301,
as compared with 47,557 in 1891: increase 744. The males
numbered 15,901, the females 32,400: excess of females 16,499.
The Parliamentary division of North Kensington comprised
85,371 persons, viz., males 37,964, and females 47,407: excess
of females 9,443. The division of South Kensington comprised
a population of 85,094 persons, viz., males 29,038, and females
56,056: excess of females 27,018.
It thus appears that there has been a sensible increase in
the population since the census of 1891, and more especially
in the Town registration sub-district. The increase in this
sub-district in the five years 1891-96 was, as we have seen,
3,413, as compared with a decrcane of 1,390 in the ton years
1881-91. In the Brompton sub-district, the increase in the
live years was 744, following upon an increase of 4,547 in the
ten years 1881-91.
During the five years 1891-95 the births in Kensington
(18,512) exceeded the deaths (14,235) by 4,277, a number only
120 in excess of the enumerated quinquennial increase in the
population, or 24 per annum; whereas in the ten years 1881-90,
the births (40,811) exceeded the deaths (27,254) by 13,557,
and were 10,400 in excess of the enumerated decennial increase
in population, or 1,040 per annum (a number equivalent to
5,200 in five years); so that the results of the census of 1891
