Cause of death?
« on: Friday 20 July 12 17:26 BST (UK) »
Can anyone decipher what is in the cause of death column?  Also the son-in-law's name?

My attempt is:
Acute Enteritis ??
Sudden
as certified by
George ???
MBCM
who examined? the body after death

Son in law's name: M. McF????

Looking at the word Street in the next column I think perhaps it was George Storer.

I think the son in law is M. McFetridge.

I agree with your transcription on the cause of death, and George Storer as Roger suggested.

Thanks.  Amazing what people actually died from in those days!

Not only 'in those days' (whenever they were)

Can be a cause of death today, especially in poorer countries, or in infants.

I think there is a mistake here. George Storer (I would agree with the name) was the medical attendant who certified the death, not the son-in-law whose name appears in the next column as the informant and whose name was asked for. He lived at Tennant Street, Coatbridge (I think I have that right!) - but his name looks like Fetbridge. I really cannot make it out but perhaps someone else can?

Apologies - I did not read the question carefully to see that all the columns were asked for - but the son-in-law's name is still a puzzle.
