Note 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.
(a) The net estimated population is found by deducting the
population of Claybury and West Ham Asylums from
the gross estimated population.
The population of Dr. Barnardo's Girls' Village Homes
is included in the net estimated population of the district.
(b) The net number of births is obtained by taking the
uncorrrected 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 RegistrarGeneral.
(c) The birth-rate is calculated on the estimated net population
for birth-rate.
(d) Calculated on the estimated total population for death-rate.
(e) Calculated on the estimated net 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 not
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 net death-rate of the district.
The following special cases arise as to Transferable Deaths: —
(1) Persons dying in Institutions for the sick ot 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; (e) failing this, to the district where death occurred,
if known; and (d) failing this, to the district where the body was
found.
