Deaths and Death Rate—Whole District.
Total deaths, 509. (Males, 266 ; Females, 243.)
Crude Death Rate —
The total number of deaths registered of persons belonging to the district and
dying within the district at all ages and from all causes was 267 (males 122 and females
145). For statistical purposes it is necessary to add to this figure the deaths of persons
ordinarily resident in the district who died in various London Hospitals, the Hillingdon
County Hospital, other Middlesex County Hospitals and elsewhere outside the
district. These "outside" deaths were 242 in number (males 145 and females 97).
The total number of deaths therefore belonging to the district is 509.
The deaths of non-Southall residents in the St. Bernard's Hospital (not included
in the above figures) numbered 300 (males 143 and females 157).
Deaths in the various Wards.
