Notes.—This Table is arranged to show the gross births and deaths registered in the borough during the year, and the births
and deaths properly belonging to it with the corresponding rates.
In Column 6 are included the whole of the deaths registered during the calendar year as having actually occurred within the
borough, but excluding the. deaths of Soldiers and Sailors that have occurred in hospitals and institutions in the borough.
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.
t "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., casual?, are not included in
Columns 8 or 9, except in certain instances under 3 (b) below. In Column 8 the number of transferable deaths of "non-residents"
which are deducted is stated, and in Column 9 the number of deaths of "residents" outside the district which are added in calculating
the nett death-rate of the Borough.
The following special cases arise as to Transferable Deaths :—
(1) Persons dying in Ins. utions f:>r the sick or infirm, 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 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 are referred to the district of fixed or usual residence of the parent.
(3) Deaths from Violenc° are referred la) 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 whe^e the body was found.
Area of District in acres (land and inland water), 1,706. Total population at all ages at the Census of 1931 : 150,928.
