Can anybody help decipher what this cause of death is please because I'm stumped with it. Can't make it out at all. I'm usually not too bad with stuff like this but have never seen this one before. All help gratefully received.
He's Edwin Jones, male, 2 years, Son of John Jones a gardener, deceased. Cause of death is certified, whatever the cause actually is. The informant was Eliza Jones present at the death, Nunney.
Had to crop the image a bit to allow it to upload.
Thanks
