The Corrected Birth Rate takes into account the abnormal constitution of the population of this Borough in which there is a predominance of higher age groups and is therefore the appropriate figure when comparison is made with the rest of England and Wales, DEATHS AND DEATH RATES Deaths Male Female Total 1948 23 33 56 1949 33 33 66 1950 21 38 59 1951 20 31 51
