What did Granny die of?
« on: Friday 14 August 09 14:25 BST (UK) »
I am a complete novice  so please bear with me.  My Grandmother, Belle Rae Mitchell  nee Bishop died 23/2/1926 but I can't make out what she died of.   On the death certificate it says (I think) Apparently,  then the word I can't make out, then the word fit.  She was only 30 years old when she died, It would be fantastic if anyone could shed any light on this.  Thanks,  Maureen. :)

Hi Maureen,

Can you put part of the certificate on here so that we can have a look too?

Ok, never mind. Where you think it says "Apparently" - could it be "Apoplexy"?

If she had a fit the word before that might be "epileptic".
