the lines of their own stock who marry into Anglo-Saxon stock. The “inde here cory
sidered compares the barriers to marriage with the British with those to mimrfiagy with all
other stock, including among such barriers those arising out of the territorial distribusion ‘of
:he population as at the date of the last census. The data on which the analysis is based
are presented in Tables 71 and 72.
A cursory examination of the foregoing tables will be adequate to show that there is
wide variation not only in the proportions of men and women who had married outside
their respective “origin” groups, but also in the percentages of those who had married into
lhe British stocks. Taking first the men as shown in Table 71, while 74 pr. of the Danes
had married outside their own stock, and 46 p.c. of these had married Women of British
origin, only 7-5 pe. of the Ukrainians had married outside that “ origin ” group, and of those
less than 9 p.c. married women of British origin. Or compare the Icelanders and Swedes.
More than half the Swedes had married into other stocks, and almost half of these had
married British. On the other hand, fewer than a fifth of the Icelanders had married outside
their own stock, but of those who had done so, over. three-quarters marnied ‘women of British
origin. The Finns do not mix, from the marriage standpoint, with any other stock. Only
a tenth of the Galieians had contracted mixed marriages, and of these less than a twentieth
married British.
Quite as diverse examples may be found in Table 72 giving the same data for the
women. Half the Dutch women had intermarried, and four-fifths of them had married men
of British stock. The Danes, Norwegians, Swedes and Swiss show similarly high percentages.
Yet only a tenth of the Greek women had intemmarried, and scarcely a tenth of these
married men of British origin. Two and a half pe. of the Jewish women had married
outside the Jewish stock. Roughly, a quarter of that two and a half p.c. had married British.
If the peoples in Tables 71 and 72 be arranged in rank, according to the percentages of
mixed marriages which had been contracted with men and women of British origin, and also
grouped according to colour, original geographical habitat and language, a clear idea will
be given as to the differences between the “origin” groups in this regard.
