The annual marriage rate per 1000 living being:—

Deaths.
In the 52 weeks 3072 deaths were registered in the Borough of Poplar,
781 deaths having occurred in the Parish of Poplar, 1818 in Bromley, and
473 in Bow; from the 781 deaths which took place in Poplar there must
be deducted 77 deaths of non-residents, and to the remainder must be
added 364 deaths which occurred in outlying institutions, making a total
of 1068 deaths of Poplar parishioners. Treating the 1818 registered
deaths in Bromley in the same manner, viz., deducting 799 deaths of nonparishioners
and adding 199 deaths in outlying institutions, the deaths to
be assigned to this parish will be found to be 1218. From the 473 Bow
deaths, there must be deducted 5 non-residents and added 237 deaths in
outlying institutions, making a total of 705 deaths.
In dealing separately with the parishes as above, it will be seen by
referring to Tables I., II. and III. that in considering the deaths of nonresidents
and those from outlying institutions, that certain additions and
deductions from the parishes have to be made in respect of themselves,
but when considering the Borough as a whole, then from the 3072 deaths
which were registered there must be deducted 514 deaths of actual nonresidents
and 433 deaths in institutions entirely outlying must be added,
