The proportion of persons married was 18 per 1,000 of the population.
509 marriages occurred in the Limehouse District, or at the rate of 19.2

persons married per 1,000 of the population.
The annual rate of persons married per 1,000 of the population in the whole of
London was 17.8.
Taking into consideration the fact that the relative number of marriages is
below and the birth-rate is very much above that of London, it is evident that it
is due, among other things possibly, to the immigration of families at the childbearing
period, and to the fact that these immigrants have, as a rule, a large number
of children. This is more marked in St. George's, where of recent year's there has
been more immigration.
The birth rate is higher and the marriage rate is lower in St. George's than in
any other part of the District.
