1458 births were registered in the district, 757 males and
701 females. In addition the Registrar General transferred 28
births from other districts to Acton. These births belonged to
Acton, but the births had actually occurred outside the district.
The infants registered as having been born out of wedlock
numbered 43, which number corresponds to a rate of 29 per
1,000 births registered in the district. Although the illegitimate
birth-rate is lower than that of England and Wales, it is higher
than it has been in Acton for a considerable time.
