Hi All

Try as I might, it just won't upload so please see the details typed out below:

John Turpie, died March 7th 1903 in Burntisland of Senile Decay, his parents were a John Turpie and Margaret Duncan and his daughter Jessie Turpie was the informant.

Sarah Turpies (McKenzie) death certificate details are as below:

Sarah Turpie, died December 23rd 1906 (the person filling in the record hasn't put the exact location of death in) . However the death was registered in Bo'ness. Death was caused by Hemisphagia (loss of feeling down one side for 10 days, likely a stroke). The informant was her granddaughter Sarah (2nd name is illegible).

I hope this helps?

The other thing that can go wrong with an image upload, in my experience, is that although an upload fails due to size, the name of that image is still somehow recorded by the site and, since duplicate names aren’t allowed when uploading, if your resized image has the same name it will fail again even though the size is now ok.

After resizing I now routinely give my image a new name using hyphenated keywords from the topic, aiming for a unique name.

Sarah Tracey.

the person filling in the record hasn't put the exact location of death in

In the box when and where died is "His Majesty's Ship Sheldrake, Bo'ness Roads, Bo'ness."
A strange address for an 88 year old, the ship was sold for breaking/scrap 1907.

Very random for such an old guy to die on board ship, far be it for me to comment on my 2 times Great Grandad, but what's the deal with that?

Very random for such an old guy to die on board ship,

More random as Sarah Turpie was female (widow of John Turpie, Marine Fireman). A Bo'ness Road runs from Bo'ness to Grangemouth, crossing the Avon. Docks in both.
