When those persons who were non-parishioners, but who died in
our Borough have been deducted, and the outlying deaths added, the
actual or "corrected" number of deaths belonging to the Sanitary Area
is found to be 4,413, of which number 2,376 were males, and 2,037 females.
The death-rate when calculated on this "corrected" number is 21.4
per 1,000 inhabitants for the whole Borough for the year 1901, as against
21.9 for Newington, 27.3 for St. George the Martyr, and 25.2 for St.
Saviour's for 1900.
