Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Cause of death? [solved, thank you!]
« on: Monday 04 January 21 10:09 GMT (UK) »
Hi All,
The nature of my Great Grandfather's (John 'Jack' Blythman) death has always been a bit of a mystery in my family and I finally got around to ordering a copy of his death certificate recently. I've managed to decipher all but the actual cause of death. I know it happened 3 November 1941 at Britannia Steelworks, where he was a 'roof sheeter' in the Bridge Yard. I know it was reported by Edith Blythman, his widow, who was apparently 'in attendance' (my Nana -his daughter- told a different story). Can anyone help me with cause of death please? The family story was that it was a work accident but that it was blamed on something else, meaning that the family received no compensation and were from then on living in poverty. I can see something about his heart here, I think?

And here is Jack and Edith Blythman:
Thank you!
Jenny.

« on: Tuesday 06 November 18 11:03 GMT (UK) »When Marmaduke landed in the US on his way back to Chile in 1919, he named his nearest relative in the UK as Mrs M Coghlan, 35 Frances Road, Windsor

Thank you so much for all your help! I'm building quite a picture now. Marmaduke had a particularly eventful life, also his Aunt, Fanny.

Stuart Coghlan 33, born Portsmouth, is a boarder in St Thomas Square, Newport. He's a musical instrument commission agent.
Thank you for this! Such a nice little story there, I imagine!

Interesting. The family seems to think he was from Ireland but records show him as English. The notes for his daughter's birth on the Chile genealogy site say "Legitimate daughter of Edward Stewart Coghlan, and Mary Chessman, English. Cohglan, is a lineage of Irish origin."
Maybe somewhere down the line!

Thank you so much for this.
It seems they changed their names rather a bit. Once they were in Chile I think they changed to Eduardo Cohlan and María Chessman de Cohlan, as far as I can tell. I wonder what they were moving away from?
