The Kanj Contemplates UK Births

In diving into the data, Aneez (aka "The Kanj") wonders:

Why is it that married couples are conceiving during the summer months, while unmarried couples tend to conceive from November to January. Could their actually be an Xmas Factor at play here?

We're not sure about the answer to that, but in exploring the data I did speculate the the upswing in births in 2002 was correlated to the release of the Austin Powers movie "Goldmember." Just a thought.
