Included in the population of the Wenlock Ward is that of the Holborn Union
Workhouse, which is situate in this Ward. The number in this institution on
the night of the Census 1911 was 1,328. For certain statistical purposes this
Workhouse population is not regarded as belonging to Shoreditch, and is
excluded from the estimated population of the Borough, which becomes for
these purposes therefore 109,082, whilst the estimated population of the Ward
is reduced to 16,014, and that of the Registration Sub-District, Shoreditch
North-West, to 34,729.

In estimating the above figures, the population and the area of the Holborn
Union Workhouse premises, and also the area covered by water in the Borough,
have not been included.

Borough, the parents not being residents of Shoreditch, was 3,393, of which 1,744
were of males and 1,649 of females.
