On the death certificate for Elizabeth Urquhart, what is the word before "Innkeeper" in column 1?

HI Douglas,

I think it says "Late Innkeeper", which I would take to mean that she was retired.

All the best,

AndrewP

I also read it as "late."

Best wishes,
Sarah

I can't see the documents...the links are there but they won't 'link' if you know what I mean....

It isn't a link for me, but the image just appears in the post. Not sure why it won't work for you - location? Operating system?

Best wishes,
Sarah

On my desktop it just appears as a link, I can open it by right clicking [using Chrome]
but nothing would persuade it to open on my tablet [too new fangled to know what it runs]

Someone's fixed the first one, as it now has a picture icon next to it. Thanks anonymous fixer!
