The births during the year were 618, of which 309 were
males and 309 were females, giving a birth rate of 23*4 per
1000, compared with a rate of 29-4 for England and Wales,
and 27-3 for the outer ring of London.
The outer ring is that portion of the Metropolitan
Police District which is outside the district of Registration
London, and includes such districts as Croydon, Wimbledon,
Richmond, Beckenham, Uxbridge, Harrow, Enfield, and
Walthamstow; many of which may be fairly compared—from

of which number:
145 took place in Churches.
53 ,, ,, Nonconformist Chapels.

60 ., ,, the Superintendent Registrar's Office.
The marriage rate for Bromley was therefore 19.7.
The rate for England and Wales for the year ending
September 30th, was 16.0.
DEATHS.
The number of deaths registered in the district was
296. By adding 27 deaths of Bromley persons, which

(these not belonging to the district) and 5 from outside
districts which took place in the Cottage Hospital, we have a
