The Common Room / Re: Cause of death?

Good question! I've been trying to retrace my steps of a few days ago when I was searching for an explanation of a cause of death given in some Pensions Appeal paperwork dating from April 1925. The cause of death was 'Endocarditis and failure of compensation. Cardiac Syncope'.

Although I can't seem to re-discover the actual site that I found before posting, I've found something along similar lines where the definition is - "Syncope, a sudden, transient loss of consciousness and postural tone" and "cardiac syncope is often indicative of a potentially fatal, underlying disease process, carrying a one-year mortality rate of 30%. Cardiac syncope occurs when the source of one's loss of consciousness stems from a problem in the heart that prevents it from supplying enough nutrients and oxygen to the brain".

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK526027/

So, yes 'fainting' 'sudden' and (with 'cardiac') 'heart (failure)' are all there, I suppose, but maybe not quite as I originally explained! Sorry.....  ;)

Blimey, woke me up from a deep slumber to attend this near 15yo thread.  ;D

Where did you find your definition of 'syncope'?

Synope, more commonly known as fainting - ref: wikipedia.

I think the third word is 'syncope', which means 'sudden' so means something like 'sudden (previously unidentified?) heart disease'.
Hope that helps!

Ah, I understand. I see that I really need to communicate with BigguyCalgary.

Thank you, Geoff, for responding so promptly :)

My grandmother's maiden name was Berkshire and she appears on the 1901 Census living at 53 Reculver Road, Deptford.

What is the connection to your particular family trees, Geoff, Jennifer and BigGuy?

I found the following information for the Berkshire family on the 1881 census.  I was hoping that somone might be able to find the family on the 1891 and 1901 census and relay the information.  On the 1881 census the family lived at 5 Westlake Rd, Rotherhithe, London, England.
