Thomas Cullon death certificate 1882
« on: Friday 07 April 17 01:11 BST (UK) »
Hello all,
I've attached a photo of 'cause of death' on a death certificate of my ancestor Thomas Cullon, who was 31 years old when he died in 1882.

I can make out the words spinal sclerosis and paraplegia, but I'm struggling to read the other words.
Help would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks
Holly

I think the doctor was Harry D'O FOOTE - check FreeBMD for Harry D'Oyley FOOTE
Today I broke my personal record for most consecutive days alive.
