Note. 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 population.
In column 6 are included the whole of the deaths, except those of soldiers and sailors in public
institutions, which were 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 the addition of the number in column 9. Deaths in column 10 have been similarly corrected
by subtraction of the deaths under one year included in the number given in column 8 and by addition
of the deaths under one year included in the number given in column 9.
"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 reside.
