In 1882 it was 36.82 years.
„ 1883 „ 37.88 „
„ 1884 „ 38.08 „
„ 1885 „ 39.29 „
„ 1886 „ 39.31 „
„ 1887 „ 39.98 „
„ 1888 „ 41.77 „
„ 1889 „ 43.27 „
„ 1890 „ 41.10 „
„ 1891 „ 38.28 „
N.B.—These figures
are too high, being
calculated from erroneous
estimates of the
Population.
It will thus be seen that the calculated mean length of
life in this Parish was higher than in any previous year,
except 1890, while that of London generally was apparently
lower than it was in any year since 1884, but it must be
remembered that the rates for those previous years were
calculated on the estimated population which the result of
the 1891 census has shown to be too high; thus the figure
for 1890, calculated on the estimated population for that
year, corrected by the census of 1891, would be only 38.92,
instead of 41.10.
