MARRIAGES AND MARRIAGE-RATE.
The marriages registered during the year numbered
1,203, compared with 1,207, 1,227, and 1,182 in the three
preceding years. The marriage-rate—i.e., the number of
persons married per 1,000 inhabitants—was 15.1, the average
rate for the previous 10 years being 16.2.
BIRTHS AND BIRTH-RATE.
The total number of births registered in the Borough
during the year was 4,767—2,480 males and 2,287 females.
This is equivalent to a birth-rate of 29.9 per 1,000 of the
estimated population, which is the lowest yet recorded in
Fulham.
The steady decline in the birth-rate of Fulham of recent
years, which is common to all civilised nations, will be seen
on reference to Table II.
