Changes in Registration of Deaths.
The Registrar-General decided to publish from January 1st,
1911, in his annual reports, an analysis of deaths according to
administrative areas instead of registration areas as hitherto,
and this decision necessitates a complete distribution of the deaths
of persons dying away from their homes to the administrative
areas in which they had previously resided.
Reports were received quarterly during 1914 from the Registrar-General—a
total of 98 deaths—on slips, giving particulars
of outside deaths assigned to the Borough of Lambeth, in addition
to those occurring in the Metropolis or in the Metropolitan Institutions
(outside Lambeth), which are still reported as hitherto.
The tables at the end of the Report (Appendix), known as
the Local Government Board Tables, have been revised and modified
in consequence, and will give accurate corrected statistics of deaths
within the Borough of Lambeth (differing slightly from the statistics
in the body of the Report), the figures required for the necessary
corrections being those specially supplied by the Registrar-General.
