Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Cause of Death
« on: Wednesday 22 July 20 05:03 BST (UK) »
Hi,
Does anyone know what the cause of death is on this certificate? It looks like ‘suddenly falling dead off in chair’. Is this what it says and if so, what might it mean?
Thank you in anticipation.

Thank you for all the replies.
On her death certificate from 1915, it says her parents were John Mitchell and Sarah Page Mitchell so different from the marriage certificate!
Jane Mitchell and John Watson had 3 children, John Henry Watson, Mary Anne Watson and Elizabeth Emma Watson between 1856-1861 in Victoria, Australia. John and Mary Anne died in infancy.
Jane later “married” (can’t find a certificate) Richard Hayes and they had 5 illegitimate children between 1863-1873 around the Castlemaine, Victoria, Australia area. Richard Hayes was a gold miner.
I think Jane Mitchell and John Watson married in the Church of Scotland even though they were both English!

Hi Kay,
That what I get out of it too but can find no record of such a person! Can also find no record of a William Mitchell who is a soldier. They were probably from England or Wales and born circa 1810 as their daughter, Jane was born in circa 1831.

Hi,
Can anyone decipher the mother's name of Jane Mitchell on this Australian 1856 marriage certificate between Jane Mitchell and John Watson? The father's name is William Mitchell and I believe the mother's surname is Page but I can't work out her other two names!
Thank you in anticipation,

Hi Wiggy, Gadget and Pat,
She had four children with her first marriage- 1875, 1876, 1880 and 1883 and four with her second marriage- 1884, 1886, 1887 and 1890.

Just a thought. Could it be as late as 1885 as she was married for the second time in that year. Not sure if this would be a wedding dress, though.
