Hello All,

Attached is a death record from Scotland's People. My interest is the second listed, John Swan (GGF).

Specifically, could anyone hazard a guess on the cause of death? " .... of stomach 6 months".

Neither can I make out the certifying doctor's name, but I'm less concerned with that.

My thanks.

Ian

That looks much more likely Monica

Would agree with ulceration!

I think Monica's got it as well - looks like ulceration to me
