MARRIAGES.
The number of marriages celebrated during the year was 1,907. This is equal to a rate
of 9.7 marriages per 1000 of total population, or a rate of 19.4 persons marrying per 1000 of
the population.
The average yearly number of marriages during the preceding five years was 1,984,
equal to a rate of 93 per 1000 of population.
BIRTHS.
The number of births registered during the year belonging to St. Pancras was 2,955,
equal to an annual birth rate of 15.1 per 1000 of population. This is the lowest birth rate
recorded in the Borough.
The rate for the previous year was 15.4, and the rate for 1929 was 15'5.
The actual number of births registered as having taken place in the Borough during
the year was 4,483, but this figure has to be corrected by deducting the births of nonresidents,
which occurred chiefly in various hospitals and other institutions in the Borough—
these numbered 1,905, and by adding the births belonging to St. Pancras which occurred
outside the Borough—these numbered 377. The corrected figure being therefore as stated
above, 2,955.
The corresponding figures for previous years are given in Table 1, on page 98.
