Wow, lots of work, however, I think you need to change your phrasing to "reported births, marriages, and deaths among the non-indigenous population." Many were not reported, or have been lost.
With a non-indigenous population in 1898 of 3.665 million, and an indigenous population of up to 1 million there were approximately a total of 4.665 million people just in 1898. To include all the 19th century, that could be guesstimated to be close to 7 million individuals. 41% of that would be 2.87 million profiles here in WT. That is close to 9% of all profiles in WT total. That doesn't fit with info published a couple months ago that showed all profiles in WT for Australia were under 10%, if I remember correctly.
So, 41% of the population is obviously too high. 41% of births, marriages and deaths could be possible, but only if qualified by the above-mentioned "reported" and "non-indigenous".
