of
St. Margaret and St. John, Westminster,
Ending March, 1890,
By BARNARD HOLT, F.R.C.S.,
Medical Officer of Health.
To the Members of the United Vestry.
Gentlemen,
As is my usual custom, I shall commence with
recording the number of births and deaths that have been
returned during the year, and shall afterwards place before you,
in detail, the several interesting sanitary improvements that have
been effected during the year.
The number of births registered during the present year
has been 782 males and 797 females, or a total of 1,579 births,
while the deaths have numbered 602 males and 511 females, or a
total of 1,113 deaths; from these, however, have to be deducted
37 as having been due to accidents, which reduces the actual
number to 1,076. The deaths during the year 1889 were 970,
thus showing an increase of 106 as compared with the previous
year.
The following is a tabular statement of births and deaths
arranged as to sex:—
