The Common Room / Question about latin medical term on death record
« on: Thursday 19 November 09 20:48 GMT (UK)  »
Hello,

I have a question I hope someone can answer.  (Maybe someone with knowledge of old medical terminology)

On my Great Great Grandfather's 1849 death record his cause of death is listed as "paralysis spinalis".  What does this mean exactly?  I assumed it was a fancy way of saying he broke his back...  But it sounds kind of ominous. 

Does anyone know for sure?

Thanks

Hello, thanks for the help. 

The only other detail I can provide is a date of birth for him, between 1798 and 1805.  A mid- 1860's date for the photo would mean he was in his sixties when it was taken.  I could easily agree he's at least that....

This is a photo of an ancestor of mine.  He was born about 1830.  Can anyone put a date to it?  Thanks

Hello, I'm afraid I no longer have the original photo, just a scan.  But there was nothing written on the back.  I have another photo I think might be from the same era, I'll post it separately.
