Title: Cause of death from an 1893 death certificate
Post by: BSmith2268 on Monday 18 September 23 11:34 BST (UK)
Hi all,

I have just received the death certificate of my x2-great aunt who died on the 24th December 1893, aged 13 months in Briton Ferry, Glamorganshire.

The second cause of death reads 'exhaustion', but I can't figure out what the first cause was.

Can anyone help decipher it?

Thank you,
BSmith

Is it pneumonia?
