Help with reading a cert

[Maggie1895]

I tried attaching a picture for the first time last week, and did just as it said - it did work but at first I didn't realise it had.

Having followed all the steps to Open (just as oldtimer described) I then pressed preview and couldn't see it.      It was only when I actually pressed 'Post' that I realised it had worked.

Good luck!

It looks like she died June 11th in George Street, Paisley. Her parents seem to be Thomas and Hannah Callaghan, but I can't read the maiden name of Hannah (I think it starts with P).

...dyspepsia and consequent general debility

She died of dyspepsia (indigestion - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dyspepsia), and the consequential debility one month (which I think means that she suffered from dyspepsia for a month.

The surname looks like Prushalls ?

Well, our posts collided but I opened your picture fine.

Dyspepsia, leading to consequent debility - 1 month?  Is that how other's read it?     Nowadays Dyspepsia can mean anything from heartburn to stomach pains and we probably pop a Gaviscon.   In 1891 I imagine the pain could have been an ulcer that burst, anything in the stomach?   Other's thoughts?

I read her mother's name as Hannah Prushall - I think the double L has crossed into the next column so it looks as if it is part of the word 'Certified by'

Place of death:  Not so easy.   Could it be Laurel Street with a very fancy 'L'?  Otherwise it looks as if it starts with a 'Y' or 'G' and has a z further in.   Not sure about that one.
