During the year 921 live births (478 male and 443 female) were
notified and in addition there were 16 stillbirths (10 male and 6
female).
These figures represent corrected totals after the addition of
inward transfers and the deletion of outward transfers and the
difference between these figures and those set out previously is
due to the fact that births must be registered only within 6 weeks and
it is not uncommon for a child to be born and notified in one
calendar year but not actually registered until after the New Year.
