"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.
(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; (c) failing this, to the district where death
occurred, if known ; and (d) failing this, to the district where the body was found.
