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. For years before 1911 the corrected rates
are slightly different. The rates are calculated per 1000 of the estimated
gross population, and no deductions have been made from the
population for large Public Institutions for the sick or infirm.
*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 addition of the deaths under 1 included in the
number given in Column 9.
†Column 8 is prepared from the returns made by the local Registrars
of Deaths in accordance with the rule in the next paragraph below;
the Registrar-General supplied the particulars of deaths (75) entered in
Column 9; and all such deaths are included in this Column, unless an
error has been detected, and it6 correction has been accepted by the
Registrar-General. For Column 4 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 1-92 outward
and 77 inward transfers).
"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 under 3 (b) below. In Column 8 the number of transferable
deaths of "non-residents" which are deducted and in Column
Column 9 the number of deaths of "residents" registered outside the
district which are added are stated in calculating the nett death-rate
of the Borough.
