Births.
There were 26 Births, viz., 10 boys and 16 girls, in the
District during the year, and none have been credited by the
Registrar as having occurred in institutions outside our area.
None of the births were illegitimate.
Taking the population as enumerated at the Census,
1911, as 1,064, this gives a birth rate of 24.4 per 1,000, of the
population.
The average number of Births for the past five years
is 24.2.
A return of the Births registered is sent to me monthly
by the Sub-Registrar.
They were located as follows:—
Boys. Girls. Total
Greenford 9 8 17
Greenford Green 1 6 7
Perivale 0 1 1
West Twyford 0 1 1
Totals 10 16 26
Deaths.
There were 12 Deaths registered in the District, and 6
transferred by the Registrar, of residents having died elsewhere.
Of the 12 Deaths that occurred and were registered in
this area, two belonged to other Districts, viz., one a boy,
14 years old, of 13, Fernhurst Road, Fulham, who was
accidentally drowned in the Grand J unction Canal, and another
a young man, 19 years of age, who died in Twyford Abbey
Home, from epilepsy, whose previous residence is given by
the Sub-Registrar as 31, Torrens Road, Brixton.
The Registrar General, however, has only transferred
one death, which is not specified in the return I have received.
I have already referred to this matter in mentioning the Home
for infirm people at Twyford Abbey.
