Deaths in 1869

You asked

​I wish to request the statistics concerning deaths in the UK during the year 1869. Specifically I would like to compare the number of deaths associated with industrial accidents compared with that of murder.

Numerical data for all causes of death in this year would be sufficient for what I require, but most important is the figure for murders

We said

Thank you for your enquiry.

A copy of the thirty-second annual report of the registrar-general for England (1869) is available electronically via the following link:

Please refer especially to the tables on 'violent deaths' starting at p173.

Information is also held for Scotland here:

We do not have information available for Wales and we are unable to produce ad hoc tables for this period as we only have computerised records from 1959 onwards.  The links above will take you to scanned copies of Deaths Registrations for 1869.
