Referring now to the detailed table of mortality as
given on the same form in all the Local Summaries, it will
be seen at a glance to what extent the deaths due to
ordinary diseases, old age, violence, &c., have exceeded those
due to Zymotic maladies in this Sub-district.
It will be observed also that the males whose deaths
were registered during the year exceeded the females by
15, and that the proportion of children registered under
ten years of age to adults dying at all ages was, as usual,
very large but not so large as in 1872 by 54.
At the more adult periods and in advanced age there
were registered 51 persons from 20 to 40 years of age,
69 from 40 to 60, 9.9 from 60 to 80, and 34 at 80 years
and upwards.
The very advanced ages are represented by three
persons who died at the respective ages of 90, 92 and
98, the last being the oldest person registered in the
year.
There is the same disparity of numbers as usual of
those who died of the middle and working classes compared
with those who succumbed amongst the nobility and
gentry and professional classes, as will be seen in the
Table which follows.*
* The tabulation of deaths &c., for the past year is the same as
that of the Eegistrar General for the w hole of London, viz.: for 53
weeks, terminating Saturday, January 4th, 1874.
