Certain of the notified births set out in the above table as having taken place
in St. Pancras institutions were of infants of mothers not resident in St.
Pancras. On the other hand a number of St. Pancras mothers were confined
in institutions outside the Borough. On page 23 will be found a table
showing the number of births to St. Pancras mothers which took place in
institutions within and without the borough.
DEATHS.
Deaths of members of His Majesty's Forces are not included in the
following figures.
The number of deaths of civilians that were registered during the year as
having taken place in the borough was 3,032.
Of these, 608 were of persons whose residence was not in St. Pancras (nonparishioners),
500 dying in St. Pancras institutions, and 108 in other places in
the borough.
There were also reported by the Registrar-General 675 deaths of St. Pancras
parishioners who died in institutions in other parts of the County of London,
and 43 who died in other parts of England and Wales.
This correction gives ths net number of civil deaths for St. Pancras
registered during the years as 3,142, making an annual death-rate of 16*8 per
1,000 civil population. (The death-rate, calculated upon the estimated total
population, would be 15'1 per 1,000).
In Table 1 (page 56), the corresponding rates for the past ten years will be
found. It will be seen that this year's rate compares favourably with that of
previous years.
1,496 deaths occurred in Public Institutions in the borough. Taking from
these the number which were of non-parishioners (500), and adding the
number of deaths of St. Pancras parishioners in Public Institutions outside
the borough (703)—both from the Registrar-General's figures), the number of
St. Pancras deaths which took place in Public Institutions is shown to be 1,699
or 54-l per cent, of the total deaths.
The deaths are fully classified for causes, sex and age periods in table 2,
fpp. 57-60).
Infantile Mortality.
402 deaths of St. Pancras infants under one year of age took place during
the year. This is equal to a rate of infantile mortality of 106 per 1,000 births.
In table 1 (page 55) the corresponding rate for the past ten years will be
found,
