MARRIAGES.
The number of marriages celebrated during the year was 1,910. This is equal to a rate
of 8.7 per 1,000 of total population.
The average yearly number of marriages during the preceding five years was 1,903,
equal to a rate of 8.8 per 1,000 of population.
BIRTHS.
The number of births registered during the year belonging to St. Pancras was 3,299,
equal to an annual birth rate of 155 per 1,000 of population.
This is the lowest birth rate ever recorded in the Borough. During the latter years
of the great war the birth rate fell abnormally, but even during those years did not reach the
low level recorded in 1927. The actual number of births registered as having taken place in
the Borough during the year was 3,925. This figure has to be corrected by deducting the
births of non residents, which occurred chiefly in various public institutions in the Borough—
these numbered 1,168, and adding the births belonging to St. Pancras which occurred outside
the Borough—these numbered 542. The corrected figure is therefore as stated above, 3,299.
The corresponding figures for previous years will be seen in Table 1, on page 78.
The following table gives the number of births and the birth-rate in each ward of
