Table XII. 



Exhibiting the proportion which the resident marriages in the parishes of 

 North and South LEITH, during the years 1839, 1840 and 1841, bear to 

 the population of these years. 



Edinburgh and Leith. 



As the inhabitants of Edinburgh and Leith are so intimately connected 

 with each other, the results obtained from the marriages of the two com- 

 bined, to their united population, may be the nearest to the truth. These are 

 as follows. 



Of the inhabitants of Edinburgh and Leith, the average annual number of 

 males married during the years 1839, 1840 and 1841 is 1265, females 1296j ; 

 the total average annual number of individuals married during these years 

 being 2561£. 



The average annual number of males married 

 in Edinburgh and Leith, compared with the 

 number of males as ascertained by the 

 Census of 1841, is as 1 to 58*935, or 1*696 per cent. 



The average annual number of females mar- 

 ried to the female population, as 1 to 70*969, or 1*409 per cent. 



Greater proportion of the male than of the fe- 



male population married, by 0*287 per cent. 



While there is on an average of these three years 0*287 per cent, more of 

 the male than of the female population of Edinburgh and Leith married, it 

 appears that on the average of these years there is 2*41 per cent, more fe- 

 males than males married *. 



The average annual number of individuals married, to the total population, 

 is as 1 to 65*026, or 1*537 per cent. 



* By the Census of 1841, there are 123-40 females to every 100 males in Edinburgh and 

 Leith.
