Pancras. On the other hand a number of St. Pancras mothers were confined
in institutions outside the Borough.
On page 25 will be found a table showing the number of births to St.
Pancras mothers, which took place in institutions within and without the
borough.
DEATHS.
It is not possible to include in the figures relating to the mortality amongst
St. Pancras residents the deaths of soldiers and sailors belonging to St. Pancras.
Reports of a certain number of these have come to hand and are considered
below, but the military authorities have not been able to furnish complete
returns. Deaths of members of His Majesty's Forces belonging to St. Pancras
are therefore excluded from the mortality statistics for 1915, and the deathrates
are accordingly calculated upon the estimated civil population.
The number of deaths of civilians that were registered during the year as
having taken place in the borough was 3,523.
Of these 672 were of persons whose residence was not in St. Pancras (nonparishioners),
637 dying in St. Pancras institutions, and 35 in other places in
the borough.
There were also reported by the Registrar-General 626 deaths of St. Pancras
parishioners who died in institutions in other parts of the County of London,
and 66 who died in other parts of England and Wales.
This correction gives the net number of civil deaths for St. Pancras
registered during the year as 3,543, making an annual death-rate of 17.7 per
1,000 civil population. (The death-rate, calculated upon the estimated total
population, would be 16.2 per 1,000).
The following table shows the number of deaths and death-rate for each of
the four Registration Sub-Districts and eight Wards into which the Borough
is divided, and also the corresponding rates in former years. In this table
deaths in public institutions, whether within or without the borough, are
classified in the respective Sub-Districts and Wards of their previous
residence:—
