§ N.B.— The populations estimated for 1918, 1919, 1920 and 1921 are the civil populations only.
Notes This Table is arranged to show the gross births and deaths in the
Borough, and the births and deaths properly belonging to it with the corresponding
rates. The rates are calculated per 1,000 of the estimated gross population,
and no deductions have been made from the population for large Public
Institutions for the sick or infirm.
For Column l the Registrar-General has furnished a statement of the
number of births needing to be added to or subtracted from the total supplied
by the local Registrar (2384 outward and 204 inward transfers).
*In Column 6 are included the whole of the deaths registered during the
year as having actually occurred within 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 the addition of the deaths under 1, included
in the number given in Column 9.
† Columns 8 and 9 are prepared from the returns made by the local Registrars
of Deaths in accordance with the rule in the next paragraph. The
Registrar-General supplied the particulars of extra tiansferable deaihs (88)
to be entered in Column 9 ; and all such deaths are included in this Column,
unless an error has been detected, and its correction has been accepted by the
Registrar-General.
" 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,
are not included in Columns 8 or 9 except in certain instances. In
Column 8 the number of transferable deaths of ''non-residents" which are
deducted and in Column 9 the number of deaths of "residents" registered
outside the distiict which are added are stated in calculating the neti deathrate
of the Borough.
