Mary Robb - Whose the parents?

[PrueM]

I've got it ladies - gosh, I don't know what you'd do without me !! 

"Loss of blood from wound on left arm no doubt contributed to by exposure and aided by drowning to judge from the water found in the stomach unless it had been ingested immediately before death"

What do you think?

Three cheers, Prue   Well done.   Now change judged to judging and there you have it.    Ah well, no poisoning after all

Prue can you decypher, column 2?
sorry GEN10 for taking over.....

[GEN10]

THANK YOU, THANKYOU!

Well done Pru!

Kenjo I don't think that you are taking over, I was going to ask if anyone could decipher column 2. I know it mentions something about a lair, and the minister of the parish. As for that it is barely illegible. Going to get onto SP today to see if it can be transcribed. I bet Pru's quicker!

Sorry so tardy, I went to bed!!  Here we go:

Between 8 & 9 o'c of the 10th and 2pm of the 10th October.
Supposed in a burn in the established Church Manse Strichan, parish of Strichan, and County of Aberdeen, accidentally.
The REverend Charles Stewart

The writing to the left of the actual entry, that's written sideways, is "See reg. of Con. Ents. Vol 1 p.67, November 16th 1877"

Oh Prue!,
What a gem, you are...
So he did fall into a stream?
Exactly how big is a burn? ........creek, stream, or river?

girls!
someone?

Hi Kenjo and Pru,

A "burn" is a stream, normally a fast-moving, slippery rock-filled trap for the foolhardy.

I suppose the writing on left applies to the coroners report
