As recorded in the section on Vital Statistics the number of
illegitimate infants born to women resident in Richmond was 57

birth rate are taken into account it is seen that the situation is much
as it was in 1946.
Miss Oliver has had an active year and has been able to carry
out a great deal of most helpful work. Richmond Borough Council
helped numerous girls during the year by paying the cost of their
maintenance in residential homes and hostels.
