° For the purpose of this table the Births registered in London have been corrected by distributing those which occurred in the principal institutions receiving maternity cases to the boroughs in which the mothers resided. In 1252 cases the residence was outside the County of London and these cases have been excluded. On the other hand 44 births that occurred outside the County have been included. With regard to the Deaths of London residents, all transferable deaths (ie., those of persons who, having a fixed or usual residence in England and Wales, die in a district other than that in which they resided) occurring in Greater London and in certain Metropolitan Institutions outside Greater London have been distributed to the Metropolitan Boroueh to which the deceased belonged. Of the deaths registered in London the previous residence was outside the county in 3092 cate s, while on the other hand the deaths of 2719 London residents occurred in the Outer Ring or in Metropolitan rstitutions outside Greater London. |
