Table 6 shows the number of deaths that took place amongst infants under
1 year and adults of 65 years and upwards in each of the four quarters of 1937. For

Causes of and ages at Death.—General information with regard to the deaths
which occurred in the Borough during the year, mainly as to causes and the ages
at which death took place, is given in Table 13, on page 18.
This same table gives the number of deaths from various specified causes
which occurred in institutions, in hospitals, nursing homes, etc. In each of the
groups all deaths, whether of residents or non-residents, are included, which accounts
for the fact that the total comes up to 1,062.
Fuller information than is possible in the table is given in the following pages,
in which also the figures relating both to causes of death and the ages at which
these causes were operative are analysed.
