You asked
I request the number of live births registered in England and Wales broken down by:
- Birth order (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th or more)
- Country of birth of the mother: UK-born; non-UK born (and where numbers allow, by broad world region: Europe excluding UK; Asia; Africa; Americas; Other)
- Calendar year of registration, 2010 to 2024
Please suppress any cells below five in line with standard ONS disclosure control practice rather than withholding the entire table.

Thank you for your request.
We have published a similar request for births occurring between 2020 and 2024 in our Number of live births by sex, parity, ethnicity of the baby, and country of birth of Mother, England and Wales, 2020 to 2024 aggregated dataset. This tabulation was requested via our user request service.
Additional information on births by parity and country of birth of mother, along with other special extracts and tabulations of births data for England and Wales are available to order, subject to legal frameworks, disclosure control, resources and agreements of costs.
If you would like to request this bespoke dataset, please contact Health.Data@ons.gov.uk to discuss your enquiry further.
As this information is reasonably accessible via another route, even if only accessible on payment, Section 21(2)(a) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA) applies.
