Hello
My 3 x great-grandmother, Hannah Shipman (née Evans, c.1817 - 21 December 1886) fell down the stairs at either her, or her daughter's, house in High Street, Quinton, Birmingham, on 29 November 1886 and was taken to "the Queen's Hospital, and detained." - as reported in The Harborne Herald & Edgbaston Observer – Saturday 4 December 1886, p5.
She subsequently died on 21 December 1886 at "Workhouse, Western Road - USB", with the cause of death "Unknown". On the death certificate, there is no doctor's signature or details as in "Certified by", etc - the only signatures are her daughter's (as informant) and the registrar's (George Shread).
Does this sound a bit unusual?
Many thanks.
