Morbus Coxea is osteo-arthritis of the hips possibly resulting from a tubercular infection.

Nephritis lardaceous is waxy degeneration of the kidney - "This form of kidney is always associated with amyloid degeneration of some other part, such as spleen, liver, etc., and, although it is frequently associated with Bright's disease, should not be regarded as a variety of chronic nephritis, as it may occur independently of it. While the cause is obscure, it is most likely due in some measure to retrograde changes in the blood plasma, whereby the blood is unable to manufacture normal tissue. It is secondary to chronic suppurative diseases, especially those of the bones, and is often tubercular. Ulceration of the bowels, tuberculosis, anal fistula, the ulcerative stage of syphilitic deposits in the bone, and, in fact, any chronic suppurative process whereby there has been a long-continued drain on the albumin—gout, cancer, malaria, leukemia, and chronic valvular diseases—have been associated with the amyloid kidney; but just how much, if any, these diseases are responsible for the degeneration is not known."

Doesn't sound nice.

Hi, thanks for your input  I think my gt gt gt Aunt was a very poorly lady and must have been in quite a lot of pain as well  :(  :'(

I'm getting a bit confused now as to which parts of the causes of death go together, I'll write it our as it is written - bearing in mind the box is quite small:

Morbus Coxae 22 years
ch. Nephritis
Lardaceous disease of Liver

I'll try to add a scan of the cert

Lincolnshire - Keightley   Randell/Randall, Clark(e), Brooks, Neave, Horton, Fidel, Wilson
Bedfordshire - Brown, James, Plowman
Suffolk - Smith (Fressingfield),Catchpole, Blo(o)mfield, Leftley, Vincent

Looks as though there are three conditions listed.  It seems she had chronic inflammation of the kidneys (nephritis) and waxy/albuminoid degeneration of the liver as well as the osteo-arthritis of the hips.  Could be long term damage from a tubercular infection of bone and some soft tissue but that is just guessing from some of the medical descriptions.  I think that when she died the doctor just listed the conditions he knew she was suffering from.
