Help with reading cause of death
« on: Saturday 07 February 15 21:55 GMT (UK) »
Hello! This is my first post, looking for your expert opinion folks!

Can anyone offer any insight into the cause of death of this fellow? He was my great great grandfather, a coal miner who died at the age of 30 in 1888. It looks like Fyamia or syarmia but i know these are not words!

Yes I also think pyaemia, it's apparently a form of septicaemia.

Written in the margin - there is an RCE for this - might be worth a few credits to see what it says?

It does look like pyaemia but I wonder if the registrar meant "empyema" -- which usually occurs in the chest --especially since you say he was a miner.
