*This column is calculated by excluding the deaths which occurred in the Strand Union, and
distributing the deaths in University College Hospital, Royal Free Hospital, and St. Pancras
Workhouse amongst the Sub-Districts in the proportion of their populations.
† The number 1800 has been subtracted from the population on account of the Workhouse.
‡ The number 50 deducted from Births for Strand Union.
§ The number 200 deducted from Births for Pancras Workhouse.
** One of these numbers is obtained by adding together the estimated populations of the
several sub-districts; the other is obtained by a separate calculation with the gross population of
the Parish.
