Births.—The statistics supplied by the Registrar-General
show that during 1937 the total number of registered live
births belonging to Wimbledon amounted to six hundred and
eight (three hundred and eighteen males and two hundred
and ninety females). This gives a birth rate equal to 10.40
per thousand of the population. Twenty-five (or 4.11 per
cent.) of the births were illegitimate. Of this number, twelve
were males and thirteen females. In addition, twenty-one
stillbirths (ten males and eleven females) were registered.
The following table gives the birth rates in Wimbledon
for the past eleven years, together with the comparative figures

Table: for England and Wales. In 1923, the birth rate in Wimbledon was 14.9. Since that year the figure has been steadily falling, although during 1935 and 1936 a slight increase in the rate is to be noted.
