94
years prior to their death, and have therefore practically ceased to
be parishioners. But I have been informed from the office of the
Registrar-General that these deaths should be taken into account in
computing the death-rate. '
I am still of opinion that they ought not to be included in the
mortality of St. Martin's; however, I will give the death-rate
exclusive of the deaths in the Edmonton Workhouse 46 in
number:—
Death-rate of St. Martin-in-the-Fields for the
year 1892, excluding the 46 deaths which
occurred in the Edmonton Workhouse
17.0 per 1,000 of
the estimated
population.
Death-rate of St. Martin-in-the-Fields for the
year 1892, including the 46 deaths which
occurred in the Edmonton Workhouse
20.2 per 1,000 of
the estimated
population.
The first of these is the true death-rate of the Parish, a rate
which shows a satisfactory condition of St. Martin-in-the-Fields.
The deaths registered in London during the year 1892, numbered
87,749, being in proportion of 20.6 per 1000 living.
Infantile Mortality.
The mortality of children under one year of age in the year
1892, was at the rate of 134.1 deaths to 1,000 births.
Old Age Mortality.
The deaths of parishioners over 60 occurring in and out of the
Parish in the year 1892, numbered 92.
34 were from 60 to 70 years of age.
36 „ „ 70 „ 80 „ „
21 „ „ 80 „ 90 „ „
1 over 90 years.
