BIRTHS.
The births registered in the year were 3,142,
including 17 which occurred in the Workhouse,
giving a rate per 1,000 of 31.5, but that does not
apparently represent the actual total, as from information
obtained at Queen Charlotte's Lying-in-Hospital,
it appears that 28 married women went from
Willesden for their confinements, besides 63 single
women.
ILLEGITIMATE BIRTHS.
These occurring and registered in the parish
were 63:—boys 33, girls 30, being 2.0 per cent. of
the total births.
DEATHS.
The deaths registered in the District were 1,197
—Males 570, Females 627. This would give an
average per 1,000 of 12.06, which is rather more
favourable than last year and the year before.
There have been many deaths of Willesden
people occurring outside the District which have to
be added.
The number, as nearly as can be ascertained, is
200; of these, 60 occurred at the Hendon Union, 21
at Asylums, and 119 in the various London Hospitals.
There were 9 deaths known to have occurred in the
