Notes.—This Table is arranged to show the gross births and deaths in the
borough and the births and deaths properly belonging to it with the corresponding
rates. The rates are calculated per 1000 of the estimated gross population.
* In Column 6 are included the whole of the deaths registered during the year
as having actually occurred within the borough, but excluding the deaths of
soldiers and sailors that have occurred in hospitals and institutions in the district.
In Column 12 are 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 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.
t "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—
are not included in Columns 8 or 9, except in certain instances under 3 (b) below.
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) are 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 are referred to the district of
nxed or usual residence of the parent.
(3) Deaths from violence are referred (a) to the district of residence, under the
penorn) 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.
