    5 132 took place in churches of the Established Church. 17 took place in Nonconformist Churches and the Roman Catholic Church. 68 took place in the Superintendent Registrar's Office. The marriage rate for Bromley was therefore 14.5. The rate for England and Wales for the year ending September 30th was 15.1. The mean marriage rate in Bromley for the 10 years, 1895-1904, was 17.9, against a mean rate in England and Wales for the same years of 15.8. DEATHS. The number of deaths registered in the Borough was 253. To this number must be added the deaths of 34 Bromley persons which occurred in our Union Infirmary, which is outside the district, and 9 must be deducted which occurred in the Infectious Hospital and local institutions, these persons not belonging to the district. There is no means of ascertaining the total number of Bromley residents who may have died away from the district. We have thus a total of 278 deaths, of which 138 were males and 140 were females, which is equal to a recorded death rate of 9.33 per 1,000. The death rate for England and Wales was 15.2, and for the Outer Ring of London 11.8. The mean death rate for 10 years, 1895-1904, in Bromley was 11.2.
