[Douglas P]

I don't know if this has been mentioned already, but images from the Register of Corrected Entries are now available to view for 2 credits each,

Thanks for the alert, Douglas. Had a look through my certificates and have found I can get three. Anyone want to help me decipher this 1880 death entry?  The original section was left blank so I can only assume the cause of death wasn't known when registering it.

Fracture of ribs and lacerations of R Lung caused by ? act of a stone wall falling on him.
Sounds like a punctured lung caused by broken ribs....ouch
Hope this helps

"Fracture of ribs and laceration of right lung caused by part of a stone wall falling on him..."

Thanks to both.  Certainly not a peaceful death.

I read the instruction on the site but am unclear whether the previously viewed images will now show an RCE if applicable. I assume that is does but would appreciate clarification please.
Thanks

Yes.  I have just viewed a previous viewed death where I expected there would be an RCE.  I opened again the previously viewed death image and the RCE was shown in red at the top next to the other blue buttons.  I clicked on the red RCE button & it took me through the usual procedure similar to using the blue buttons.  A new image opens with the details of the correction.  Regards Gazania

Thanks Ganzania for you help.

Although I think your earlier respondents are probably correct in saying 'stone wall', when I first looked, I read 'part of a steam mill falling on him'. An industrial accident on a farm, in other words. This would have to have been at harvest time, though, as steam mills travelled from farm to farm at threshing time.
