The average number of Deaths registered in the district
during the past five years is 13.2 as against 12 this year(1911)
Last year there were 19 deaths registered in the District.
Eight of these occurred at the Twyford Abbey Home of Rest,
and two were of other persons, also non-residents in the
District, making ten that were deducted before adding the
deaths of residents that occurred elsewhere, which were 6 (the
same as now). This year, however, the number to be deducted
is only 2 as already explained; hence the difference in the
death rate, although the rate for the total deaths registered
in the District is only 11.2, as against 15.9 last year. The
nett. rate is 15.0 as against 12.6 last year.
The deaths registered in the District were distributed
as follows:—
Males. Females. Total
Greenford 1 4 5
Greenford Green 2 2 4
Perivale 0 0 0
West Twyford 3 0 3
Total 6 6 12
The ages at death can be seen by referring to Table III.
It will be noticed that seven of the deaths occurred in people
over 65 years of age; also that 4 met with violent deaths,
two being drowned in the Grand Junction Canal, one being
suffocated on a barge, whilst unloading at Hunt & Kennard's
Wharf, and a child that was suffocated by food being lodged
in its windpipe.
Infantile Mortality.
The number of deaths of infants under 12 months
old is 2 ; the average for the past five years is 2.4.
The infantile death rate—that is, the proportion of deaths
to those born during the year—is 76.9 per 1,000 births.
