Title: Cause of Death
Post by: StevieB on Tuesday 01 November 22 22:46 GMT (UK)

Hi everyone,

I am hoping the group can help me transcribe the third line of the "cause of death" entry shown on a death certificate.

I can transcribe the following:

Typhoid Fever
14 days
?
certified

I have attached the whole entry, as I aware this helps with the transcribing.

I have made a number of attempts, but nothing seems to match any health condition.

As a point of interest, Albert was the son of my 2x great grandmother.

Thanks in advance for any thoughts.

Steve

I agree too, exhaustion.  :) Anne Frank is said to have died from typhoid fever and exhaustion.

Hi,

Thank you for your thoughts, they are very much appreciated and I can now see that the word is "exhaustion".

Best wishes,
