Wow! Isn't this exciting! :o :o

I think it says..part of anyway.....

Loss of blood from wound on left arm, no doubt, attributed? to by no pressure and so did by? drowning
---------contents--------------???? stomach unless it had been ingested immediately before death.


It appears he was saying the amount of water in stomach,,,maybe? ???

Hi,

drowning to judge from............stomach unless it....ingested immediately before death

couple of more words to go......but is it making any sense.

Is there anything this poor man didn't die of ?

Oh dear :-\

Loss of blood from wound in left arm no doubt  .........  back by
go (going) forward and suddenly drowning to  judged from the water found in the stomach unless it had been ingested immediately before death.


back meaning his back - as in a back injury?
to as we would now say - also suddenly drowning
judged from the water - judging from the water found in the stomach he made his conclusions that he either fell into the water or drowned by what he had ingested.

Think this is where the RCE might come in - correction to the cause of death? 

No ???

To everyone
Thanks for all the help you are giving me ;D With this collaboration It will get deciphered.
Ysabeau, his widow lived until 1911. Mary died aged 79 at Legiemuir, Udny, she never married again after that. She didn't have it easy but then again, who did in those days? She lost two daughters in 1881 within 2 months of each other to TB, leaving two other daughters who married and lived to make old bones.

Hello everyone

Here is what we have managed to decipher on the death certificate at the present time.

Loss of blood from wound on left arm no doubt attributed to by......... pressure and aided by drowning to ......... ......... the ....... ......... .......... the stomach unless it had been ingested .......... ..........  before death.

I think I will send for the RCE. Would it have made the newspapers? If it did then I could check them too.

Hi
,
Definitely worth checking the newspapers.......after all they would probably have made background checks themselves if they ran the story

"no pressure" ?????

Gen10, before you get involved in the expense of ordering the certificate, the RCE could give you further information, or it could give as litle as a change of date, word, etc.   
Get back to SP and ask them to decipher what is on the certificate first.  GROS will do this for you.  Submit a contact form found on their website.
