Notes.—This Table is arranged to show the gross births and deaths in the district, and the births and
deaths properly belonging to it with the corresponding rates. For years before 1911 some of the corrected
rates probably will not be available. The rates should be calculated per 1000 of the estimated gross population.
In a district in which large Public Institutions for the sick or infirm seriously affect the statistics, the rates in
Columns 5 and 13 may be calculated on a nett population, obtained by deducting from the estimated gross
population the average number of inmates not belonging to the district in such institutions.
*In Column 6 are to be included the whole of the deaths registered during the year as having actually
occurred within the district.
In Column 12 is to be entered the number in Column 6, corrected by subtraction of the number in
Column 8 and by addition of the number in Column 9. Deaths in Column 10 are to be similarly corrected by
subtraction of the deaths under 1, included in the number given in Column 8, and by addition of the deaths
under 1 included in the number given in Column 9.
†The Medical Officer of Health will be able from the returns made by him by the local
Registrar of Deaths to fill in Column 8 in accordance with the rule in the next paragraph below.
The Registrar-General, either directly or through the County Medical Officer of Health, will
supply the Medical Officer of Health with the particulars of deaths to be entered in Column 9;
and all such deaths must be included in this Column, unless an error is detected, and its
correction has been accepted by the Registrar-General. For Column 4 the Registrar-General
will furnish to the Medical Officer of Health, a Statement of the number of births needing to be
added to or subtracted from the total supplied by the local Registrar.
‡"Transferable Deaths" are deaths of persons who, having a fixed or usual residence in
England or Wales, die in a district other than that in which they resided. The deaths of persons
without fixed or usual residence, e.g., casuals, must not be included in Columns 8 or 9, except in certain
instances under 3 (b) below. The Medical Officer of Health will state in Column 8 the number of transferable
deaths of "non-residents" which are to be deducted, and will state in Column 9 the number of deaths of
"residents" registered outside the district which are to be added in calculating the nett death-rate of his
district.
The following special cases arise as to Transferable Deaths:—
(1) Persons dying in Institutions for the sick or infirm, such as hospitals, lunatic asylums, workhouses, and
nursing homes (but not almshouses) must be regarded as residents of the district in which they had a fixed or
usual residence at the time of admission. If the person dying in an Institution had no fixed residence at the
time of admission, the death is not transferable. If the patient has been directly transferred from one such
institution to another, the death is transferable to the district of residence at the time of admission to the first
Institution.
(2) The deaths of infants born and dying within a year of birth in an Institution to which the mother was
admitted for her confinement should be referred to the district of fixed or usual residence of the parent.
(3) Deaths from Violence are to be referred (a) to the district of residence, under the general rule; (b) if
this district is unknown, or the deceased had no fixed abode, to the district where the accident occurred, if
known; (c) failing this, to the district where death occurred, if known ; and (d) failing this, to the district
where the body was found.
