*Marriages and Marriage-rates.—During 1925 there were
2,039 marriages solemnised in the Borough of Hackney. The
annual rate for persons married during this period is therefore
178 per 1.000 of the population.

Births and Birth-rate.—The births registered in the Borough
of Hackney during the year 1925 numbered 4,806, of which 2,470
were males and 2,336 females. The total shows an increase of
4 compared with the number registered during 1924, but of
these a certain number must be transferred to other districts,
and certain births, which occurred in outlying districts, must be
transferred to Hackney in order to get an accurate birth-rate for
the Borough. The Registrar-General has supplied the number of
these transferable births, viz., 1,037 births to be transferred to
other districts and 324 to Hackney. After these necesssary corrections
have been made, the correct total of registered births
amongst Hackney residents is 4,093. From this figure the birthrate
for Hackney during 1925 has been calculated to be 17-9 per
*I have here to acknowledge my indebtedness to Mr. H. Brougham
Loney, Superintendent Registrar, who has kindly abstracted the number of
marriages for the year 1925.
