Proportion of smallpox deaths aged 10 and over, five-year moving average, St Dunstan's, Stepney, and St Martin-in-the-Fields.

Notes: St Martin's smallpox burials are adjusted for burials with missing ages and missing causes, as described in tab. 1. In the case of St Dunstan's only smallpox burials were transcribed from the sextons' books, so these have been corrected for missing ages but not unknown causes. Cause of death data were missing for the years 1758–61 in the St Dunstan's sextons' books. Decadal smallpox burial totals for St Dunstan's were 391 (1740–9), 211 (1750–7), 385 (1762–9), 526 (1770–9), 346 (1780–9), and 327 (1790–9) (total 2,186 burials). Sources: London Metropolitan Archives, P93/DUN/173-192, St Dunstan's, Stepney, sextons' day books; as for tab. 1.
