This table shows that the number of births, 3356, registered
in the District during this year was larger than in any previous
year. In 1860 the number was 2633; in 1861, 2752; in 1862,
2768; in 1863, 3075; in 1864, 3170; and in 1865, 3356, or an
increase of nearly 700 since 1860. The table also shows that
190 births were registered in Stoke Newington sub-district,
being at the rate of 57 in each 1000 births for the whole
District. There were 167 or 50 per 1000 in Stamford Hill
sub-district; 772 or 230 per 1000 in West Hackney; 1368 or
407 per 1000 in Hackney; 8.59 or 256 in South Hackney. As
compared with the residents in 1861, we find that the birth
rate was less than the per centage of population in Stoke
Newington, Stamford Hill, and West Hackney, but was greater
in Hackney and South Hackney. The ratio between the births
and population of the sub-districts has altered so greatly since
1861 as to show that the relative number of residents has also
enormously altered by increase in Hackney and South Hackney.
