(a) Owing to the alteration in respect to the registration sub-districts referred to on page 1 of the report for the year
1905, it was necessary to select fresh localities for statistical purposes. The eight wards of the Borough were
accordingly adopted as separate localities for the purposes of this table. If required, the figures relating to the
registration sub-districts may be obtained from this table, as Wards 1, 2 and 3 form the Shoreditch South Registration
sub-district, 4 and 5 that of Shoreditch North-West, and 6, 7 and 8 that of Shoreditch North-East.
(b) Deaths of residents occurring beyond the district are included in sub-columns c of this table, and those of non-residents
registered in the district excluded. (See note on Table I. as to meaning of terms "resident" and "non-resident.")
(c) Deaths of residents occurring in public institutions have been allotted to the respective localities according to
addresses of the deceased.
(d) The population of locality No. 4 includes the population in the Holborn Union Workhouse, estimated at 1,373.
