BIRTHS.
The number of Births registered in the Borough during 1930 was
2,618, of which 1,335 were males, and 1,283 females. This represents a
birth-rate of 14.7 per 1,000 inhabitants.
The number of births registered in the individual parishes was as
follows:—Newington, 1,375; St. George the Martyr, 628; Christchurch
and St. Saviour's, 615.
Of the 2,618 births registered in the Borough 304 were transferred
away, the permanent residence of the parents being outside the Borough.
683 births occurring in various lying-in and other institutions outside
the Borough, but belonging to Southwark parents, were notified to me by
the Registrar-General. When the 301 "outward" transfers are deducted
