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 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. Deaths in
Column 10 are similarly corrected by subtraction of the deaths under 1, included in the number given in Column 8, and by addition of the deaths under 1 included
in the number given in Column 9.
fTransferable 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^ or 9, except in certain instances under 3 (b) below. In Column
8 is stated the number of transferable deaths of "non-residents" which are deducted, and in Column 9 the number of deaths of "residents" registered
outside the district which are added in calculating the nett death-rate of his district.
The following special cases arise as to Transferable Deaths
(1) Persons dying in Institutions for the sick or nfirm, such as hospitals, lunatic asylums, workhouses, and nursing homes (but not almshouses) are
regarded as residents of the district in which they had a fixed or usual residence at rhe time of admission. If the person dying in an Institution had no fixed
residence at the time of admission, the death is not transferred. If the patient has been directly transferred from one such institution to another, the death is transferred
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 are referred to the
district of fixed or usual residence of the parent.
(3) Deaths from Violence are 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.
