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. The rates
are calculated per 1000 of the estimated population as stated in Column 2, without the use
of the standardising factor for the district given in the Annual Report of the Registrar-General.
In a district in which large Public Institutions for the sick or infirm seriously affect the
statistics, the rates in Columns 5 and 13 are 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 included the whole of the deaths registered during the year as having
actually occurred within the district.
‡ "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 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; (e) failing this, to the district where death occurred,
if known; and (d) failing this, to the district where the body was found.
