You asked
I am wondering if you would be so kind as to provide the following dataset in Excel or CSV format to be emailed to me or uploaded to your website for others to use. I'm calling it England & Wales all cause monthly deaths by quinary age band and gender 1970 - 2022 by date of occurrence. Here's the detail:
Region: England & Wales
Variable: All cause death by date of occurrence (not date of registration!)
Frequency: Monthly
Period: Jan 1970 - May 2022
Factor 1: Quinary age band (0 - 4y, 5 - 9y ... 80 - 84y, 85+y)
Factor 2: Gender (male, female)
I attach an example file that I've cobbled together using existing data as best I can but this is likely inaccurate and is most certainly not up to date
