BIRTHS.
During last year 2,755 births, 1,412 males, 1,343
females, were registered in this Borough against 2,807
in the previous year. Making due allowance for the
increase of the population, the number of births registered
last year was 394 below the average number
registered during the previous 10 years. Adding 130
births which occured outside the Borough, transferred
by the Registrar-General as belonging to Hammersmith,
and deducting 2 births which occurred in this Borough
which are transferred to other districts by the RegistrarGeneral,
the corrected number of births for last year
was 2,883. On the population estimated up to the
middle of the year, i.e., 122,750 inhabitants, the corrected
number of births registered was equal to an annual rate
of 23.5 births per 1,000 persons living. The birth rate
in London on the estimated population of London up
to the middle of the year, i.e., 4,519,754 inhabitants,
was equal to an annual rate of 24.5 births per 1,000
persons living. These figures are calculated upon the
corrected number of births registered.
