Deaths

My Ggrandmother died in 1892 and at the cause of death it said   (not certified) she was only 38 why as she was so young.

Hello,

Normally when a DC states "not certified" there was no Doctor or qualified Medical Attendant to verify the death.  This happened frequently more often than not when folk could not afford to "see the Doctor"

Thank you for that,you would think it odd dying that young and no one questions it.

Hello

No NHS in those days, and therefore no regulations to govern cause of death (unless obviously accidental or suspicious).    Did you check if she'd given birth within a month or so of her death date???  Just in case her death was childbirth related.

regards .....  Meg
