(and marriage-rate) population (48,030) includes all the elements
of the population contributing to the birth and marriage rates and
may be represented by
Death-rate population plus this district's proportional
share of all non-civilians enlisted from this country.
The number of deaths registered in the district was 971,
but 564 of these did not belong to the district, while 49 residents
died without the district. Thus the number of deaths properly
attributable to the district was 456. Adopting the basis of the
population estimated by the Registrar-General, the death-rate for
the district comes to 9.8 per 1,000, which is comparable with
the following figures:—11.6 for England and 11.2 for London.
As it is not possible to calculate the population in each Ward
with any reasonable degree of accuracy, I am unable to furnish
the death-rate for each separate Ward.
The total number of births registered during the year was 918,
but 121 of these did not belong to this district, while 41 births
properly belonging to this district occurred outside the district.
The nett number of births thus attributable to the district is 838.
Adopting the population basis suggested by the Registrar-General
for the calculation of the birth-rate, this comes to 17 45 per 1000.
The birth-rate of England and Wales is 19 7 per 1,000, and for
London 20 2 per 1,000.
