Title: Help with Cause of Death
Post by: kdsoph on Thursday 23 June 22 23:56 BST (UK)
I have a cause of death as being a tumour but I can't work out what type  ???. As soon as you tell me I will feel really silly, but it is driving me nuts for no specific reason  ;D

Many thanks in advance

I’m fairly sure it’s Cerebral Tumor (tumour)
Definitely don’t feel silly!  Sometimes you see them, sometimes you don’t!

Oh Ann
Thank you for putting me out of my misery. Now it's as plain as the nose on my face. Perhaps I have an undiagnosed one as well! Ha!

Hah!  Most definitely not! 
When I first looked at it I though it said buchal tumor, and I didn’t think there was such a thing!  On closer inspection it’s cerebral tumor (tumour)
I had trouble trying to decipher some of the writing in column 1 -  City of Coiling….?  then saw Collingwood. But as for County of ……. ?  I still can’t work that out!  Hopefully, you have deciphered it!

That's what I saw and couldn't unsee! I even Googled 'buchal tumour' just in case!
I did actually work out absolutely everything else. Count of Bourke, Collingwood etc but the COD was the whole reason why I purchased her Death Certificate in the 1st place. So thank you again. Why didn't the man just say "brain" :)

Thank you for going to so much trouble, Andy!

I hadn't actually Googled Collingwood and really should as it's history may help fill in Miriam's story.

Just as an aside; This young lady had 8 brothers and 6 sisters and only 2 of them lived near her. Her parents were in Ballarat and I was afraid that she died and no one knew because she was buried in an obscure Cemetery in Coburg quite alone.  It's good to know she wasn't and now I can bring her home.
