TABLE II.
BOROUGH OF SHOREDITCH.
Vital Statistics of separate Localities in 1907, and in previous Years.
(а) Owing to the alteration in respect to the registration sub-districts referred to on page 1 of the report for the year 1905, it was
necessary to select fresh localities for statistical purposes. The eight wards of the Borough were accordingly adopted as
separate localities for the purposes of this table. If required, the figures relating to the registration sub-districts may be
obtained from this table, as Wards 1, 2 and 3 form the Shoreditch South Registration sub-district, 4 and 5 that of Shoreditch
North-West, and 6, 7 and 8 that of Shoreditch North-East.
(b) Deaths of residents occurring beyond the district are included in sub-columus c of this table, and those of non-residents registered
in the district excluded. (See note on Table I. as to meaning of terms "resident" and " non-resident.")
(c Deaths of residents occurring in public institutions have been allotted to the respective localities according to addresses of the
deceased.
(d) The population of locality No. 4 includes the population in the Holborn Union Workhouse, estimated at 1,373.
