The Common Room / Re: Lordship of Farncombe
« on: Tuesday 10 November 20 21:56 GMT (UK)  »
I have the transcript of a will of an ancestor dated 1558. It says "and my indenture held of the lordship of Farncombe". Does anyone know what that means? Was he "Lord of the Manor" or did he rent property from the "lordship of Farncombe". Thanks.

An indenture was a document used in contracts, title deeds, and relating to apprentices or agreements with servants. I would think in this case it could most probably be relating to title deeds.

There's no match I can find between that full name and hosier lane.

Give the URL, and explain who you expect to see (name and birth year)

Yorkshire (North Riding) / Re: Looking for clues after receiving death cert
« on: Monday 09 November 20 14:01 GMT (UK)  »
Oh my!  Thank you Sandblown and Jen.  So from info from Sandblown and website it only became a hospital in 1948 so poor Eliza must have died in the workhouse in 1946!  :o. Probably better than home though, hopefully she would have received some medical assistance which would not have been available at home.

Workhouses legally ceased to exist on Monday 31st March 1930, after which it became the Guisborough Poor Law Institution. There is a newspaper advert for a situation in 1939 which says apply personally or by letter to the Matron, and another in 1940 for a assistant nurse. So it looks like it was operating as a hospital then.

The Common Room / Re: Syncope listed as Cause of Death

Completing the death certificate.
A few things that you CAN NOT write as a disease or condition that led directly to death:
“Failures” as a sole 1a (e.g. heart/kidney/liver/respiratory failure). However, it is ok to use congestive cardiac failure.
Asphyxia
Asthenia
Cachexia
Cardiac arrest
Coma
Exhaustion
Old age/frailty as a sole cause of death: this can only be used in patients who are over 80 years old.
(While there is no statutory age limit or restriction on referring to ‘old age’, a death certified as due to old age or senility alone will usually be referred to the coroner, unless the deceased was 80 or older)

Syncope is a clinical syndrome defined as a relatively brief and self-limited transient loss of consciousness. However, in some instances, syncope may be due to more worrisome conditions (particularly those associated with cardiac structural disease or channelopathies), and, in such circumstances, syncope may be an indicator of increased morbidity and mortality risk, including sudden cardiac death (SCD).
