Hello all,
I am having trouble reading this death record.
Received for the ?? for
Thos [Thomas] Bertram ????
Thanks!

Hi
Can only guess... but it looks like Mort Cloth... Mortuary Cloth ??

I hadn't heard of a Mort Cloth before, after a quick search: http://freepages.folklore.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~bldr/funerals.html and that seems to be accurate.
This is located in Berwick, Scotland.

Ahh, that makes sense for it to be Scotland..... So pleased it helped you out.
Cheers

I'm still having trouble with the second line:
Tho [Thomas] Bertram ??
-
It either looks like Bellshiel or Bellshill
Would any of those fit?

Bellshills/Bellshiels seems appropriate for this record. Thank you!
I am not sure what the word in front of it means, but it may be irrelevant?
