Death Cert- completed
« on: Thursday 15 April 10 15:29 BST (UK) »
Hi

I have just received the death cert for a Joseph McClay born October 1881 and died January 1882 aged 3 months Trumman East, Co. Donegal. 

 He died of "BLACK HIVES" can any one tell me what this was.  He was sick for 14 days.
Many Thanks
Pat

Black Hives apparently another name for Cynanche Trachealis according to this site: www.antiquusmorbus.com/English/Undefined.htm

Cynanche Trachealis is defined as Croup here-

Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!
