Notes on Table I.
In column 6 there is entered the whole of the deaths registered
during the year as having actually occurred in the district.
In column 12 there is entered the number in column 6, corrected
by the subtraction of the number in column 8 and the addition
of the number in column 9. Deaths in column 10 are similarly
corrected by the subtraction of the deaths under 1, and included
in the number given in column 8, and the addition of the deaths
under 1 included in the number given in column 9.
(а) The nett estimated population is found by deducting
the population of Claybury and West Ham
Asylums from the gross estimated population.
(b) The nett number of births is obtained by taking the
uncorrected number of births supplied by the local
Registrar and adding to or subtracting from it
such a number as is supplied for this purpose by
the Registrar-General.
(c) The birth-rate is calculated on the estimated nett
population.
(d) Calculated on the estimated gross population.
(e) Calculated on the estimated nett population.
"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.
There is stated in column 8 the number of transferable deaths of
"non-residents" which have been deducted, and there is in
column 9 the number of deaths of "residents" registered outside
the district which have been added in calculating the nett deathrate
of the district.
The following special cases arise as to Transferable Deaths:—
(1) Persons dying in Institutions for the sick or infirm, such
as hospitals, lunatic asylums, .workhouses, and nursing homes (but
not almshouses) must be regarded as residents of the district in
which they had a fixed or usual residence at the time of admission.
If the person dying in an Institution had no fixed residence
at the time of admission, the death is not transferable. If
the patient has been directly transferred from one such Institution
to another, the death is transferable to the district of residence
at the time of admission to the first Institution.
(2) The deaths of infants born and dying within a year of
birth in an Institution to which the mother was admitted for
her confinement should be referred to the district of fixed or
usual residence of the parent.
(3) Deaths from violence are to be referred (a) to the district
of residence, under the general rule; (b) if this district is unknown,
or the deceased had no fixed abode, to the district where
the accident occurred, if known; (c) failing this, to the district
where death occurred, if known; and (d) failing this, to the
district where the body was found.
