In dealing separately with the sub-districts 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 sub-districts have to be made in respect of themselves,
but when considering the Borough as a whole, then from the 2553 deaths
which were registered there must be deducted 378 deaths of actual nonresidents
and 477 deaths in institutions entirely outlying must be added,
making a total for the Borough of 2652 upon which the death rate is
calculated.
The 961 deaths in Poplar included 11 illegitimate children, 4 male
and 7 female ; the 1056 deaths in Bromley included 8 illegitimate children,
3 male and 5 female ; the 635 Bow deaths included 4 illegitimate children,
2 male and 2 female, making a total for the Borough of 23 deaths of
illegitimate children.
Males. Females. Totals.
Poplar 558 403 961
Bromley 576 480 1056
Bow 329 306 635
Totals 1463 1189 2652

The male births in the Borough exceeded those of the female by 249,
and the male deaths exceeded those of the female by 274, which makes a
gain of 25 females.
At the end of the years 1898, 1899, and 1900 there was a gain of
females from the Sub-Districts of Poplar and Bromley. In the Borough
for the years 1901-1909 and 1911 there was also a gain of females, but for
the year 1910 the males gained over the females.
