DEATHS AND DEATH RATES.
The number of deaths registered in 1919 was 1,568. This figure is inclusive of
persons who, though normally resident in the Borough, died in institutions outside,
but exclusive of persons, who, though they died in St. Marylebone, were ordinarily
resident in other parts of England or Wales. Deaths of persons ordinarily resident
outside the borders of England and Wales are included in the St. Marylebone figures,
if they occur in the Borough.
The corrected death-rate* per thousand for the year was 15.9.
In the previous year, the rate was 18.5 and the number of deaths 1,835. In
1917 the rate was 17.0 per 1,000, and in 1916, 16.0.
