Catherine Beattie - Death Corrected Entry
« on: Sunday 26 January 25 18:34 GMT (UK) »
My 4th great-grandmother Catherine Beattie died in Moodiesburn on 13th February 1919. The cause of death was listed as burning.

She had a Register of Corrected Entries where the cause of death was burning accidental and was certified by Geo. Giles, Dep. Prosecutor Fiscal. This was signed by the Prosecutor Fiscal's Office Glasgow in March 1919.

Would there be some sort of record that would include the particulars of what happed to Catherine Beattie? I have so far not came across any newspapers that include the story.

A lot of accidents happened by standing too close to the coal fire and clothes catching fire
