NOTES.
1.—Population at census, 1881—127,006.
2.—Area in Acres, 755.
3.—Average number of persons in each house at census, 1881
*For statistical purposes the Registrar-General estimates the population to the middle
of the year on the basis of the rate of increase ruling between the two preceding census
periods. The estimate of population may be checked by the known number of inhabited
houses, and by the average number of inmates per house, as ascertained at the preceding
census.
**The deaths of non-parishioners in public institutions within the parish are deducted,
and a proportion of the deaths occurring in General Hospitals relative to the population
of the parish or district is added to the total number of deaths in this column.
†The figures for these years are extracted from the reports of the late Dr. Sarvis, by
whom no correction for Hospital deaths was made.
‡No returns from local registrars were supplied to the Sanitary Department during
these years.
‡ No information.
