The marriage rate for Bromley was therefore 16.2. The rate
for England and Wales for the year ending September 30th was
15.2.
The mean marriage rate in Bromley for the 10 years, 18941903,
was 17.6, against a mean rate in England and Wales for
the same years of 15.8.
Deaths.
The number of deaths registered in the Borough was 282. To
this number must be added the deaths of 31 Bromley persons
which occurred in our Union Infirmary, which is outside the
district, and 9 must be deducted which occurred in the Infectious
Hospital and local institutions, these persons not belonging to
the district. There is no means of ascertaining the total number
of Bromley residents who may have died away from the
district.
We have thus a total of 304 deaths, of which 149 were males
and 155 were females, which is equal to a recorded death rate
of 10.40 per 1,000.
The death rate for England and Wales was 16.2, and for the
Outer Ring of London 13.2.

The mean death rate for 10 years, 1894-1903, in Bromley was 11.5.
