TO THE
BOARD OF WORKS
for the
LIMEHOUSE DISTRICT.
Gentlemen,
I have the honour to submit to you my Report on the
Health and Sanitary condition of the Limehouse District
during the year 1896.
The Births registered during the year numbered 2,012, of
which 1,205 were registered in Limehouse, 473 in Ratcliff, 274
in Shadwell, and 60 in Wapping. These figures indicate a
birth rate of 34 6 per 1,000 of the population, or 0 5 per 1,000
in excess of the average of the last ten years.
The Marriages registered during the year numbered 419,
the annual average number for the last ten years being 402.
The Registered Deaths, exclusive of those of non-residents
which occurred in Public Institutions situated in the District,
but inclusive of those of residents which occurred in Public
Institutions beyond the limits of the District, numbered 1,385,
which corresponds to a death rate of 23.7 per 1,000 population.
