McCauley Death Record

[kiwi2011]

Please decipher the following:
-two words in the 1st column prior to the word hospital. These words also appear to be in the 3rd from the right column.
-Address of James McCauley

Since a name has not been provided I'm assuming the child was gravely ill?

Hi kiwi2011

It's lying-in hospital. (ie maternity hospital)

Judy

Thank you 'oldtimer'.

Hi,

I agree with Judy above that it is lying in hospital. James McCauley's address is 3, Henry St.

Hope this helps.

Kind regards

David

Looks like it's a birth certificate rather than death? Not unusual for child to be registered without first name(s) and doesn't mean child was poorly.

[kiwi2011]

Yes you're right, it was a birth certificate thanks aghadowey. Since it says 'lying in hospital' wouldn't it be fair to assume he was ill?

Thanks for your help too David.

[oldtimer]

No, a lying-in hospital was a maternity hospital. No suggestion that he was ill.

[kiwi2011]

Thank you so much Judy, that's encouraging. Now I can search for this little boy.

You could look on the 1871 census - you have the parents' names
