Hi Audrey

You will have to upload the certificate in the gallery so that we can see it. Click on Gallery, near the top of this page and follow the instructions.

Good luck

Hi Audrey,

I was able to make out some of it. Robert Douglas married to Mary Scott, died January 27, 1864 at Lockaby Hill (I think) age 70. William Douglas, shepherd, (father deceased) and mother Mary Pott (deceased). Cause of death paraphlegia....... can't make out the second line....third line says pneumonia.

Someone else may be able to read it better than me.

Regards,

Ina

Hello Audrey,


glad that you found his death after my hints last week.

I am no expert, but I agree with Stuart except for Dryfesdale, and I can suggest:
Wood forester
Paraphlegia some years
Pneumonia some weeks
Geo L Wilson


Regards,

John
