Title: cause of death query
Post by: Deirdre784 on Sunday 31 December 23 12:01 GMT (UK)

Hi, can anyone help with this cause of death please (1886). I can see exhaustion but can't make out the earlier word.

Hi
It says Senectus Exhaustion (Old age exhaustion) with the first “e” having been missed out inserted over the top of Snectus.
Regards
Jack
