Deciphering Infirmities on 1911 census
« on: Saturday 05 August 17 12:49 BST (UK) »
Hi,

I'm having trouble deciphering what is written in the infirmities boxes for the top two people. I can see weak chest at the bottom and weak heart at the top, but I can't read what the other parts say.

I'm also struggling to read what has been written vertically.

Can anyone help make it out please?

Thank you :)

looks like growing old for the end of the first 1 and 2nd a double rupture. I take that to be a hernia problem.

The middle one looks like 'Double rupture' (?) and the vertical one is, I think, 'By parentage' ("British subject by parentage" was one of the options for recording the nationality of persons born in a foreign country).
