deciphering cause of death

[heywood]

Sorry if this is in the wrong forum- not sure where it should be! Can anyone please read and interpret the bit between Measles and Bronchitis. It is with reference to the death of a 1 year old child.
I am trying to put a jpg on and have followed the instructions found elsewhere on this site but cannot do this - so am attaching it. I do hope it works.
Thanks

It did it!!!

Well done

I reckon it says 8 days (duration of the illness was often listed)

Heather B.
Thanks a lot- I shall bear that in mind. There are no 'y's to compare it with on the rest of the cert. but there is a 'p' in September which has the same downward stroke. However in the absence of anything else I think your explanation sounds very reasonable and plausible.
Thanks for the immediate response.

I agree with Heather: it was normal to state how long the illness/ cause of death had lasted: in this case 8 days.

kind regards, Arranroots

Two of you are good enough for me - thanks

Add a third - I read it as '8 days' before reading the others posts

[heywood]

Thanks again - it is for a contact in USA and we were both trying to add yet another disease into the poor child's death!
