I estimate that the population of the district at midsummer
1914 was 10,000 and the following tables are based
on this estimate.
BIRTHS AND BIRTH RATE.
The total number of births registered during the year
was 183—97 males and 86 females—two of whom were
illegitimate.
This in equal to a rate of 18.3 per thousand of the estimated
population, a slight decline oil the rate for the previous
year, and a decrease of 3 per 1000 on the average for the
previous five years.
DEATHS AND DEATH RATE.
Eighty-two deaths were registered within the district,
three of which were of non-residents; and the Registrar
General has furnished particulars respecting twenty-eight
residents whose deaths occurred outside the district.
Of these residents dying outside the district, ten deaths
occurred at the Union Infirmary at Kingston; four in London
Hospitals; one in the County Asylum; two at Teddington
Cottage Hospital; one in Molesey Cottage Hospital, and ten
at other places outside the district.
After correcting these figures, the total number of deaths
of persons belonging to the district is 107, equal to a rate of
