PUTNEY & ROEHAMPTON.
I estimate the population of Putney and Roehampton
for the year 1892 at 18,22G. This estimate cannot be far
from the correct population, as the census enumeration
was taken so recently.
Birth and Deaths.
During the year 417 births were registered, of
which 214 were males and 233 females. This is equal to
a birth-rate of 24-5 per 1,000 per annum. Two hundred
and forty-seven deaths from all causes were registered,
which gives a death-rate of 13'5 per 1,000 per annum.
This is a higher death-rate than we have had for the last
seven years.
