Deducting this total from the Complete Total we obtain the Nett Total of all deaths belonging to the District113125238

The death-rates for various localities per 1,000 persons living are as follows:—

Teddington Corrected Death Rate10.001214.66
Teddington average for preceding 10 years12.8612.2311.88

The Corrected Death-Rate is arrived at—
(1) By the exclusion of the deaths of non-residents
which occurred and were registered in Teddington.
(2) By the inclusion of the deaths of residents of
Teddington which occurred and were registered elsewhere
; and
(3) By allowing for the disturbing influence caused
by the age and sex distribution of the population.
