Just wondering if anyone can make out the occupation - ??? manager and the cause of death on the cert I uploaded to the gallery for John Stein Black 1944.
There is also an RCE for him that I can't make out either.

Looks like you were just in a mood to spell Englisch as if it were Deutsch

As a warped phonetician, this doesn't bother me at all-- I get in those moods sometimes too

Thanks very much Lesley. I looked at it for a long time and couldn't make much of it at all.
I appreciate your taking the time to help!

Sarah, before Talking Scot was around someone posted an item on the Scotland's People Discussion board about German taking over English - I must see if I can find where I saved that and post it here - it was quite funny at the time!

Thanks again
