NOTES TO TABLES I. and la.
Tables I. and la. are arranged to show the gross births and
deaths in the District, and each ward, and the births and deaths properly
belonging to them with the corresponding rates. The rates are
calculated per 1,000 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 district.
*In Column 12 is entered the number in Column 6, corrected by
subtraction of the number in Column 8 and by addition of the number
in Column 9.
*In Column 10 the deaths are similarly corrected by subtraction
of the deaths under 1 year, included in the number given in Column 8,
and by addition of the deaths under 1 year, included in the number
given in Column 9.
†Column 4.—This number has been obtained by adding to the
number shewn in Column 3 the number of births belonging to the
district but occurring outside and subtracting the number occurring in
the district but belonging to other districts.
†Column 8.—This number is the number of deaths excluded from
the returns of the local Registrar as transferable deaths defined below.
†Column 9.—This number is the number of deaths transferred to
the district by the Registrar-General.
‡"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) must be regarded as residents of the district; n 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 lor her confinement
should be referred to the district of fixed or usual residence of
the parent.
(3) Deaths from Violenoe are to be referred (a) to the district or
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.
