The Outer Ring of London is that portion of the Metropolitan
Police District which is outside the district of Registration
London, and includes such districts as Croydon, Wimbledon,
Richmond, Beckenham, Uxbridge, Harrow, Enfield, and
Walthamstow, many of which may be fairly compared, from
a health point of view, with our own district.
MARRIAGES.
During the year there were registered 301 marriages, of
which number—
152 took place in Churches of the Established Church.
4 took place in Nonconformist Churches.
4 took place in the Roman Catholic Church.
141 took place in the Superintendent Registrar's Office.
The marriage rate for Bromley was 17.8, the rate for
England and Wales for the year ending September, 30th, was
14.9.
DEATHS.
The number of deaths registered in the Borough was 303.
Under the new Rule, which came into force at the beginning
of the year, the deaths of persons who, having a fixed
or usual residence in England or Wales, die in a district other
than that in which they resided, are transferred to the locality
in which they previously resided.
The same method of allocation has been applied to the
Births, so that this year, for the first time, we have been
able to attain absolute accuracy in the vital statistics of our
Births and Deaths.
