Saint Pancras, Middlesex.
FOURTEENTH ANNUAL REPORT
of the
MEDICAL OFFICER OF HEALTH,
For the Year 1869.
To the Vestrymen of St. Pancras.
Gentlemen,
In the year 1869, 7601 births were registered in the parish of St.
Fancras; or, more correctly, 7580 births during the 52 weeks ending 1st
January, 1870.
5043 deaths were registered as having occurred during the year of
365 days.

parish; when these corrections are made, it is found that the corrected
number of births was 7556, and the corrected number of deaths 4962, in
the year of 365 days. The natural increase of the population of St.
Pancras (the excess of births over deaths) was thus 2594.
The births fall short of those in 1868 by 154 ; the deaths exceed those
of 1868 by 167; and the natural increase of population was 321 less than
in that year.

the population of this parish must necessarily be approximate; for there
are no sufficient data available for calculating accurately the immigration
and emigration affecting the resident population. If the rate of increase
