Hi:)

I've uploaded the DC for Christina Fowler ( nee Stewart ) I can read part of the cause of death ( extensive burns to abdomen and arm ). There is an RCE.

I'll place the url here upon approval

The 3rd line escapes me, but the 4th line is Suppuration & Exhaustion ....

Dennis,

I think the third line says One Month.

Well spotted. Let that be a lesson that's there's frequently a duration given.....

I have to confess that I'm less than chuffed with myself in the sense that I should have realised that after the info on the cause of death, always assuming that there had been a medical attendant in the days, weeks, months leading up to the death, and before the name and qualifications of said medical attendant, that the cause of death field on the death register entry would include a comment on the duration of the illness involved .......
