•Since the year 1940 it has not been possible to correct the local death-rate by means of an Areal Comparability Factor,
as the publication of this Factor was suspended by the Registrar-General in 1941. Consequently it is not strictly
possible to compare the Death-Rate for Wimbledon with that for England and Wales.
