Death cert

[scottishmist]

Hi all
Looking for help to read a cert again

Thanks Jan

Think it says:
Alexander McGraw, labourer. Widower of Jane Mitchell and Margaret Murray.
Died February 26th 1873 at 2.48am 27 Shand St Kilmarnock.
Father: Thomas Mcgraw, weaver dec. Mother: McGraw M.S. McKinnon
Informant: William McGraw, son. 5 Back Lane

Can't read what he died of though

[sgf28]

Whatever he had he'd had for several months as certified by James Rankin, surgeon.

Phitisis pulmonary (Tb in lungs)

I opened the image and enlarged it.  I think it says "phthisis pulmonaris", which is the old word for tuberculosis.

I think the M.S. of the mother says "unknown" (and not McKinnon)

Hello scottishmisty,
     I too thought mother's maiden name was Mckinnon until I read helencasmith's post. It does look more like Unknown. Cause of death looks like Phthisis Pulmonalis.
               Regards,     Dod.
PS  Age: 59 yrs

Hi all
Thanks for all the help
I think you are right about the name being unknown Helen ,,,,,,,,,,,, I so dislike it when I get one like that ,,,,,,I have one before with a unknown mother I am so glad it doesn't happen that much
cheers Jan

Hi Jan,
Was Jane Mitchell Alexander's first or second wife?
