TWENTY-FIRST ANNUAL REPORT
of the
MEDICAL OFFICER OF HEALTH,
Being the Report for the Year 1876.
TO THE VESTRYMEN OF ST. PANCRAS.
Gentlemen,
During the year 1876 (52 weeks) the number of births
registered in the Parish of St. Pancras was 8,317, and of
deaths, 5,183 (gross numbers). After making the necessary
allowances for deaths of non-parishioners in public institutions
situated in the Parish, and for deaths of parishioners
in hospitals outside St. Pancras, the corrected number
of deaths is 5,019; and this number may be taken as approximately
representing the gross mortality among those
persons whose sanitary welfare is entrusted to you by the
Legislature.
The births exceeded those of the year 1875 by 307.
The deaths were fewer by 382 than in the year 1875.
I estimate that the population in the middle of the year
1876 was 233,000 ; and my calculations of mortality are
based upon this estimate.
