Thank you for your request,

Please see the spreadsheet Population and births in Blundellsands for the population by age of the Blundellsands ward in Sefton.

This data pertains to the area indicated on the map provided within the spreadsheet.

This was downloaded from the Nomis website, which is a service run by Durham University on behalf of the Office for National Statistics. Further tables can be found at www.nomisweb.co.uk and we attach navigation instructions for your reference.

With regards to your second question. When a birth is registered, we receive place of birth address, for example hospital, birthing centre or private dwelling and the mother's usual address is entered, as well as the informant's address where appropriate.

We do not hold information on births registered elsewhere but where the child now resides in the Blundellsands ward.

We can provide statistics based the number of births registered by place of mother's usual residence, however we have not conducted analysis of this by your requested dates.

Using our interactive webservice NOMIS you can request annual births by small geographic area and then select by electoral ward. For Blundellsands, please select Sefton and then your requested ward: E050000934 Blundellsands. The following numbers of births were recorded:

• 2019 – 83 births registered.
• 2020 – 70 births registered
• 2021 – 83 births registered

We also have the following user requested data sets available:

Live births by ward and local authority, England and Wales: 2019

Live births by month of occurrence and local authority, Wales: January 2011 to March 2021

If this does not meet your needs, we can create a user requested data set to meet the specific periods of your request.

Special extracts and tabulations of birth registration data are available to order and subject to disclosure control, legal frameworks, resources and costs as per the ONS Charging Policy.
