Can you read thhis Death? Please!
« on: Tuesday 09 August 05 00:25 BST (UK) »
Hi There,  :D
Can anyone read this Death.
John Smith died 1859, Edinburgh.
Can you work out what he died of and what was his mother's name.
Thanks very much.

Hi Kenjo, it's me to the rescue!!!  ;D

It says "Syncope after a bilious attack about two hours.  As certified by G. Milburn M.R.C.S. Eng., who saw deceased 14th October"

Mother's name as Annie says.

Syncope was a drop in blood pressure leading to unconsciousness I believe.

Could you tell me how you put the image of the certificate into your message please.  I have a certificate that I need help reading but cannot work out how to put it onto the meassage board.

OK.
scan your cert. then use a program like urfranview?
and save just what is required. save to your desk top. and be sure you know the name. save as JPG. (one thing I forgot to mention,  make it smaller than 300kg)
but that shouldn't be a problem, if you are only taking a portion of it....

 come to this posting and reply ..... under the window you type in, click on the additional options in red....
it will open up and where it says attach
there is an empty space and next to that is a grey box with Browse click on the browse button.
and search for the saved cert on your desktop.
click on it, and then , open. and the name will appear, in the attach box.  and then  Post.
and then your away.

Be very patient............ and then it will appear slowly....
if an error occurs, the file may be too big.
tell if so , and I will tell you how to check if it is too big..
Good luck.
