On the Rates of Marriage among Widows and Spinsters

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  18 August 2016

Extract

In my paper On the Construction ov a Combined Marryge and Mortality Tabl (J.I.A. xxi, 423), I shoed how the statistics suplyd by the Scottish Registrar-General may be employd to calculate the marryge rate among bachelors. I wil now use the same statistics to calculate the marryge rate among widos and spinsters. As I stated in the paper abov referd to, the Scottish marryge statistics apear to be furnisht with greater exactnes than the English, and the conclusions drawn from them as to the marryge rate, seem therefore much more trustworthy than the corresponding conclusions drawn from the English statistics.
