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. For years before 1911 some of the corrections
as to transferable deaths probably will not be available. The rates should be calculated per 1000 of the estimated
gross population as stated in Col. 2, without the use of the standardising factor for the district given in the
Annual Report of the Registrar-General. In a district in which large Public Institutions for the sick or infirm
seriously affect the statistics, the rates in Columns 5 and 13 may be calculated on a nett population, obtained
by deducting from the estimated gross population the average number of inmates not belonging to the district
in such institutions.
* In Column 6 are to be included the whole of the deaths registered during the year as having actually
occurred within the district.
In Column 12 is to be 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 to be 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.
† The Medical Officer of Health will be able from the returns made to him by the local Registrar of
Deaths, as well as from the quarterly lists furnished by the Registrar-General, to fill in Column 8 in accordance
with the rule in the next paragraph below. The Registrar-General, either directly or through the County
Medical Officer of Health, will supply the Medical Officer of Health with the particulars of deaths to be entered
in Column 9; and all such deaths must be included in this Column, unless an error is detected, and its
correction has been accepted by the Registrar-General. For Column 4 the Registrar-General will furnish to
the Medical Officer of Health a Statement of the number of births needing to be added to or subtracted from
the total supplied by the local Registrar.
‡ "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. The deaths of persons without fixed or usual
residence, e.g., casuals, must not be included in Columns 8 or 9, except in certain instances under 3 (b) below.
The Medical Officer of Health will state in Column 8 the number of transferable deaths of "non-residents''
which are to be deducted, and will state in Column 9 the number of deaths of "residents" registered
outside the district which are to be 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 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; (6) 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.
