Table XIII. 



Exhibiting the proportion which the resident marriages in EDINBURGH 

 and LEITH, during the years 1839, 1840 and 1841, bear to the popula- 

 tion of these years ; also the average annual amount of marriages to the 

 mean population. 



Glasgow. 



The tables of marriages published in the Glasgow Mortality Bills for 1839, 

 1840 and 1841, show that of the inhabitants of the city of Glasgow and the 

 suburban parishes of Barony and Gorbals, the average annual number of 

 males married during the years 1837, 1838, 1839, 1840 and 1841, was 2186£, 

 females 2166j* the total average annual number of individuals married 

 during these years being 4353. 



Therefore the average annual number of males 

 married these five years in Glasgow and 

 suburbs, compared with the number of 

 males as ascertained by the Census of 

 1841, is as 1 to 61*333, or 1-630 per cent. 



The average annual number of females mar- 

 ried, to the female population, as 1 to 68*325, or 1*463 per cent. 



Greater proportion of the male than of the 



female population married, by 0*167 per cent. 



While there was on an average of these five years 0*167 per cent, more of 

 the male than of the female population of Glasgow married, it appears that 

 on the average of these years there was 0*887 per cent, fewer females than 

 males married*. 



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

 is as 1 to 64*813, or 1*542 per cent. 



* By the Census of 1841, there were 110-41 females to every 100 males in Glasgow.
