Help to read a word in a Death Certificate please
« on: Tuesday 24 April 18 15:06 BST (UK) »
Please can someone help me to read the 6th word (between 'Hospital' and 'the') in the 'Rank or Profession' column of a 1847 Death Certificate.

Image should be attached.

Thank you,
Melbell

I was going to suggest "now" but from makes more sense.

Jayson and Milliepede

Thank you both for your replies - 'from' makes sense and is not an interpretation I had managed to 'see'.

Cheers,
