Hammersmith Parish Infirmary Death Register query
« on: Thursday 03 April 14 10:17 BST (UK) »
First time I've used this source and I'm puzzling over what seem to be initials after the cause of death in several cases.  Could they have been the initials of the doctors who certified the deaths as they seem to be repeated?  The 'Pyloric stricture' is the person I'm particularly interested in.

Looks like H. F. -- so perhaps Heart Failure?
What date is the register?

1908 is the date. Heart failure it is. Someone else found the vital clue at the start of 1906.
