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
(St. Mary's Hospital, Lock Hospital, and Children's Hospital, Paddington Green),
are deducted; but those of parishioners in extra-parochial hospitals and outlying
institutions are included.
