108 were Males and 98 Females.
49 were under 1 year of age, and 45 were over
65 years.
From the number of deaths which were
registered in the district we must deduct 2, those
of non-residents who had no connection with the
district. This brings the number of deaths to
204, giving a mortality rate from all causes of 14-5
per 1000 persons living.
The following is the death-rate in the different
Wards:—
Fulwell Ward 15.44
Lower Teddington Ward 12.25
South Teddington Ward 11.75
Upper Teddington Ward 16.54
The death-rate from the principal zymotic
diseases (including diarrhoea) is 2.2, and from the
scheduled notifiable diseases, 0.92 per 1000 of
population.
The number of Births was 351, of which 173
were males and 178 were females. The birth-rate
was 25 and the infant mortality 139 per 1000
births.
Comparing these figures with the averages for
the last 10 years, we find that the death-rate of
1902 is 1.9 higher, the infant mortality 1 lower,
and the birth-rate 0.4 higher.
