The deaths of residents registered in the district that
took place at the two extremes of life, that is before they had
reached the age of 12 months or after they had lived 65 or
more years proved 51.4 per cent. of the total of deaths at
all ages.
Of the deaths registered in the district and as taking
place among the actual residents in Twickenham, 104
exceeded 65 years of age.
20 were between the age of 65 and 70 years.
50 „ „ 70 „ 80 „
32 „ „ 80 „ 90 „
Two died at the very advanced age of 94 and 97
respectively.
This list includes amongst the deaths from all causes
4 from Diarrhoea, 6 other Diarrhœal Diseases, 27 from
Phthisis, 13 from other forms of Tuberculosis, 25 from
Cancer, 24 from other Respiratory Diseases, 34 from Heart
Disease, 12 from Accidents, and 11 Premature Births.
In compiling the death returns of the district regard has
to be had to those persons who are classed under the term
"Resident," and also under the heading "Non-resident."
The term "Non-resident" is meant persons brought
into the district on account of sickness or infirmity, and dying
in public institutions here, and the term "Resident"
is meant persons who have been taken out of the district on
account of sickness or infirmity, and have died in public
institutions elsewhere.
The "Public Institutions" to be taken into account for
the purposes of Table IV are those into which persons are
habitually received on account of sickness or infirmity, such
as hospitals, workhouses and lunatic asylums.
It follows therefore that the death of any person really
belonging to an outside district must be classified as
"Resident" unless such person dies in a local Public
Institution, when he is deemed a "Non-resident."
Fifty-six deaths of residents occurred outside the District
in the undermentioned places:—
Isleworth Infirmary 28
Richmond Hospital 9
