description of disability
« on: Wednesday 11 December 24 05:57 GMT (UK) »
I'm trying to work out the nature of my g grandfather's disability. I can read debility, but not the preceding word (underlined). The attached extract is from the records of the Sth Dublin Union workhouse, 1904.
Thanks
Eddie

I think it’s ‘nervous’

I agree with mckha489 .... 'Nervous Debility'

Thanks to everyone for their contributions - I think nervous makes sense in the context
