PS. I would email ScotlandsPeople and ask if they can give you a better copy. They are usually good about this.

Hi

I think the River is the River Nith in Dumfriesshire - possibly Dock Park is in Dumfries itself.

Just noticed that  first two posters have   suggested Suffocated - on Scottish certs, the date is given first and it is September.

I read it as:

1896
On September
twenty sixth
body found in River
Nith at the ?
Dock Park (last
seen alive on evening
of 24th ?
on  Dock Park
near the Road)
