Deaths.
In the 52 weeks 2547 deaths were registered in the Borough of Poplar,
636 deaths having occurred in the Sub-District of Poplar, 1582 in Bromley,
and 329 in Bow ; from the 636 deaths which took place in Poplar there must
be deducted 51 deaths of non-residents, and to the remainder must be
added 397 deaths which occurred in outlying institutions, making a total
of 982 deaths of Poplar parishioners. Treating the 1582 registered
deaths in Bromley in the same manner, viz., deducting 734 deaths of nonparishioners
and adding 181 deaths in outlying institutions, the deaths to
be assigned to this sub-district will be found to be 1029. Prom the 329
Bow deaths, there must be deducted 3 non-residents and added 278 deaths
in outlying institutions, making a total of 604 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, 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 2547 deaths
which were registered there must be deducted 354 deaths of actual nonresidents
and 422 deaths in institutions entirely outlying must be added,
making a total for the Borough of 2615 upon which the death rate is
calculated.
The 982 deaths in Poplar included 10 illegitimate children, 4 male
and 6 female; the 1029 deaths in Bromley included 7 illegitimate
children, 4 male and 3 female; the 604 Bow deaths included 6
