Marriages
The number of marriages in Westminster during 1966 was 4,296.
Deaths
The total number of deaths shown in Table 1, page 63, includes persons who, though normally
resident in Westminster, died elsewhere in England and Wales but excludes persons who, though
they died in the City, were ordinarily resident in other parts of England and Wales. Deaths of
persons ordinarily resident outside the borders of England and Wales are included in the figures if
they occurred in the City, as also are those of members of H.M. Forces who were stationed in the
area.
Deaths registered in 1966 numbered 2,894 (11.01 per 1,000). The rate of 11.01 when standardized
by the comparability factor gives a figure of 11.67; the rates for Greater London and for England
and Wales were 11.1 and 11.7 respectively.
