Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: disease and treatment on 1875 uk army dragoon medical record

Thanks Philip

That makes sense. I wonder if the missing word is "canker". A infected cold sore (canker) that was treated with a poultice.

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / disease and treatment on 1875 uk army dragoon medical record

The entry I am interested in starts with Belfast   297     75/7/1 -75/7/13    

It is described as a "constituitional debility" so it isn't an injury.   
Thanks Brian

Thanks Bearkat

Although that may be what it is. Having it described as a "constitutional debility" seems to indicate it was not an injury. In the pre-germ/virus era it would be more likely to be a disease or infection. Such things as Rheumatism, influenza  and tuberculosis were described as constitutional disorders.

hello all
I cant figure out what the affliction he had on July 1 1875.  It was a constitutional affliction (catchall phrase).

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / decypher word that describes child in 16th century shropshire baptism record

hello:

on this page clip there is 3 instances of a word that describes a son or daughter (see red point)

Is this an adjective that means baseborn? what is the word?

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: 1570 Cheswardine Shropshire marriage - brides last name?
« on: Friday 27 December 19 23:16 GMT (UK)  »
It had occurred to me the first letter could be a "w" as the letter forms of weddings and married and margaret all seem similar. The last letter also has a distinct end flourish that sweeps up to the dot(where the pen stayed too long) significant hmm.

a-l the word magill is actually "married" they had missed writing the last name and had to insert it above in lighter script. The queried line is the one above it.

I have tried to look +- 40 years in the register for  the name mele or mede with no possible results
