Death cert, make readable

[ScouseBoy]

Here's a small piece to see if it's any better. As PrueM says, it's not really possible to make it legible.

Best, Jon

  The column headings are probably.

Date and place of death.    Name  and surname.   sex.    Maiden surname of a woman who has married.   date and place of birth.     

Occupation and usual address.   7(a)  Name and surname of informant    7(b)   Qualification   7(c)  address of informant.

9. cause of death.

Those column headings are those currently used on todays death certs.

[ScouseBoy]

jjoojj,   can you give us the column headings off the certificate you are reading from please. 

[ScouseBoy]

I read the surname as LYON

Can you please tell us how you obtained this cert?   and what is the registration district and county?

[ScouseBoy]

Could it  be Stafford?

[jjoojj]

Dear All,

here's what I think they say:

No.
1. When and where born
2. Name and Surname
3. Sex
4. Age
5. Occupation
6. Cause of Death
7. Signature, description and address of informant
8. ?Where eng[...]?
9. ?Witness of ?signature

Does that make any sense?

Best, Jon

[jjoojj]

And could the name be Howard Brooks Lyons/Hyons

              I have a recent death cert in front of me, so admittedly  the order of the columns may have changed over 100 years. 

But  if it is a death cert  then the first date is likely to be the date and place of death IMO

[ScouseBoy]

Col 5 could be  "wife of   xxx xxx       Lyon"     but what I see as LYON  could be the occupationof the husband.

If you read  the last word as an occupation, what could it be?

[jjoojj]

Yes indeed, ScouseBoy, it's much more like

When and where *died*.

Sorry about that.

Jon
